Walks
A form of popularization of the “history of places”, which makes it possible to contextualize witness accounts and information obtained from books and films in the municipal space.
During these educational walks we prove that the great events of the 20th century are made up of hundreds of individual stories. Last year we discovered locations connected with the assassination of Franz Kutschera and places where Poles hid Jews during the occupation.
Here are some of the walks which we organized:
Along the Path of Insurrectionary Ochota on the anniversary of the Ochota Massacre (4 September)
Witold Pilecki in Occupied Warsaw on the 71st anniversary of the Communists’ judicial killing of the Cavalry Captain (25 May)
In Hiding on the National Day of Remembrance of Poles who Saved Jews (24 March)
Reinstating the Memory on the occasion of the National Day of the Indomitable Soldiers (2 March)
Get Kutschera on the 75th anniversary of the assassination of the “Butcher of Warsaw” (3 February)
