Contrary to the trend, by the will of the heritage

On the eve of another anniversary of the end of the Second World War in Europe in late April, in the suburbs of the Polish city Paslek, activists of the City Center for Volunteers (headed by Mieczyslaw Gantsazh) together with community members of the Commonwealth and Mutual Assistance Foundation with the participation of the initiative group from among local residents established a memorial cross as well as the obelisk and plaque were restored.

The works were carried out with the financial support of the Foundation. The indifferent citizens of Poland also contributed to this good deed.
A cross and an obelisk with a plate are installed on the site of a wound of a dismantled monument in honor of prisoners of war who died in camps during the First and Second World Wars 1054 soldiers of different nationalities, among whom were 809 Russians, 160 Romanians, 46 French, 3 Englishmen, 6 Italians, 21 Belgians and 1 person of unidentified nationality. Later, 8 Red Army soldiers who died in the battles for the liberation of Poland from the Nazi invaders during the Second World War were buried in this place.
At the end of the 80s of the last century, by the order of the Polish authorities, the monument was dismantled, and the original tablet was preserved, and thanks to history lovers and local historians from Pasłęk, it is housed in the local museum as an exhibit.
On the occasion of the completion of the work and the opening of the obelisk, a solemn meeting was held at the site of its installation. The city of Paslek did not prevent the restoration and installation of memorial objects, despite the heated debates around the events of the Second World War.

Now anyone on a memorable or weekday day can come to the burial place of the soldiers of the two world wars and honor their memory.
