On August 20th, on the 73rd anniversary of Grybów’s ghetto liquidation, we’ve meet in Biała Niżna, where on this day in 1942 a mass execution of 360 people deemed unfit to walk the way to the ghetto in Nowy Sącz was committed.
Ceremonial kaddish for the Jewish citizens of pre-war Grybów was intonated by the Chief Rabbi of Kraków – Eliezer Gurary. The ceremony was attended also by the Head of Jewish Community in Kraków, Tadeusz Jakubowicz, the Mayor of Grybów, Piotr Fryda, Voyt of Grybóew Gmina, Piotr Krok, members of Jewish Community in Kraków and more than 50 people from Grybów, Nowy Sącz and other cities, that came together with us to celebrate the memory of those murdered – including our Ambassadors.

The walk was a part of the Remembrance Week in Sądecczyzna, within which commemorative events took place that served to commemorate the tragic events related to the beginning of the Nazi operation of ghetto liquidations in the region and subsequenti mass executions.
