Message
Delegates of local government authorities, uniformed services, social and political organizations lay wreaths at the monument to the Polish Soldiers in Rawicz. In this way, the 83rd anniversary of the outbreak of World War II is commemorated.
In addition to the delegation, the flagship school of the Rawicz school and uniform classes and the Middle School, which took the guard of honor, also participated in the ceremony at the Monument to the Polish Soldiers in Rawicz.
83 years ago, German troops crossed the Polish border, starting the largest military conflict in history. Running from September 1, 1939 to September 2, 1945 (in Europe until May 8/9 1945), World War II claimed – as historians point out – from 50 to 78 million people. 5 million 600 thousand of them Polish. That was more than 16% of the population of our country at that time.
The territory of hostilities covers almost all of Europe, East and Southeast Asia, North Africa, parts of the Middle East and all of the oceans. Some episodes of war even took place in the Arctic and North America.
The Second World War ended with the signing of the act of unconditional surrender of the Third Reich in Reims on 7 May 1945, with entry into force on 8 May 1945, ending hostilities in Europe, and the act of unconditional surrender of Japan on 2 September 1945.
And although there are fewer and fewer witnesses to the tragic events of 1939-1945, we – contemporaries – must remember and cultivate this memory, passing it on to future generations. The Second World War, its victims and heroes at that time will never be forgotten.
