For five years, our school has been taking care of the memorial site at Szeroka Street in Krakow. The modest monument is to the left of the entrance to the Old Synagogue. It commemorates the crime of World War II: on October 28, 1943, the German occupiers shot here 30 Poles transported from the prison at ul. Montelupich. It was revenge for killing, on the verdict of the Polish underground, two officials – Germans and a Gestapo informant. So far, only nineteen of those shot have been identified.
On the eve of the 75th anniversary of this tragic event, the community of our Lyceum commemorated the victims. The ceremony was honored by the presence of representatives of the Old Town District Council with its chairman, Mr. Tomasz Daros, and councilors, Mrs. Anna Bałdyga and Mr. Jacek Balcewicz. The prayer for the dead was led by the parish priest of the Corpus Christi parish, Fr. Przemysław Soboń.
