International Day of Commemoration in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust

27.01.2023 is the International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Mszana Dolna lost more than a thousand of its inhabitants as a result of this crime: Jews and Christians of Jewish origin. Also several Roma families. This year we commemorated the memory of the Victims not only on this one day, but throughout the week. We visited the places of mass executions and burial of the Victims with five groups of young people, conducted classes with them on the Holocaust, while on 27.01.2023 itself we lit candles, brought wreaths and said prayers at all 3 memorial sites in Mszana Dolna: at the mass grave on Ogrodowa Street, where 24 young people murdered around 1.05.1942 are buried, On Pansky, at the mass grave of nearly 900 Victims of 19.08.1942, and at the Jewish cemntary, where buried approx. 70 more Victims, killed in various places in the city during the entire occupation. We also remembered those from Mszana who were exterminated in the death camps. Honor the memory of all these Victims!
