Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, Polish Bialystok celebrated the anniversary of the end of World War II.
The festivities were attended by Voivod of Podlaskie Voivodeship Bogdan Pashkovsky and Deputy Mayor of Bialystok Przemyslaw Tuchlinski, who laid flowers in front of the Unknown Soldiers monument at a military cemetery on 11 November Street in Białystok. By their example, the Polish leaders demonstrated that the memory of the soldiers who died for the liberation of Poland from fascism is more important than any political confrontation.
In his speech, Bohdan Pashkovsky, looking in the face of war veterans, said very important words: “Today we celebrate the anniversary of the end of hostilities in Europe – a symbolic end to World War II, although we know that the war still continued outside of Europe. We recall this tragic time for our Motherland, we remember the heroes who fought for its defense. ”
And it is important to understand that these words were pronounced at the cemetery, where both Soviet and Polish soldiers were buried in mass graves, which means that Poland still has a memory of the history of the difficult war years and its true heroes – Unknown Soldiers.
