On Monday, May 25, we met at the grave of 45 children murdered on May 23, 1943. We commemorated the anniversary of the tragedy with a short prayer. A few words were spoken by Bogdan Białek, the president of the Society, the song “Szemma Izrael” was sung by Jacek Dziubel, a member of the Orthodox choir of the Kielce Orthodox church. We read out the names of the murdered and the message of Stefan Zabłocki, who, as a child, was in a group of children to be killed but managed to escape from the place where they were imprisoned. The prayer was recited by Paulina Mularska-Ołowiak, a teacher and a participant of our “ABCs of Judaism” program. Finally, we lit candles and laid flowers on the children’s grave.
