Remembrance of The Upper Silesian Tragedy
Yesterday, at the Cemetery of the Victims of the Labour Camp in Łambinowice, was marked the Upper Silesian Tragedy Remembrance Day. In this way, since 2010, on the last Sunday of January, have been commemorated events of repression against the German people, and those who were considered as such, in Silesia, and which started when the Red Army entered this land in January 1945, and later were continued by the Polish communist apparatus.
Due to the pandemic, this year's commemoration was limited to the laying of wreaths, lighting of candles, prayers and commemorative speeches, in which the words appealing for remembrance and education, were the most prominent. The ceremony was broadcast on the Internet. Also there took place the premiere of the film Traces of the Past - Labour Camps in Upper Silesia after World War II, which can be viewed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-TXjZUXeM8.
At the commemoration, organized by the Association of the German Social-Cultural Societies in Poland, the Museum was represented by Director of the CMJW, Dr. Violetta Rezler-Wasielewska.
