The Gold HeroON award for the Museum of Polish Children – victims of totalitarianism is a prize for collecting, acquiring and preserving documents and memorabilia related to the activities of the Nazi German camp for Polish children on Przemysłowa Street in Łódź, as well as for the implementation of the project “Nauczono nas płakać bez łez...” [“We were taught to cry without tears...”]

‘We are engaged in saving the memory of Polish children from the German camp on Przemysłowa Street. We want to know the names of all the prisoners of this terrible place. We are working to find out what happened to them during World War II and where their graves are. The Museum staff is making every effort to save the documentation that accompanied their story,’ explained dr Ireneusz Piotr Maj.

We are especially grateful for the votes of Internet users who honoured us with the Gold HeroON audience award appreciating our work to promote the history of 20th century Poland and historical and patriotic education.

‘This is a great honour and motivation for further efforts to spread historical knowledge about the Nazi German concentration camp for Polish children on Przemysłowa Street in Łódź. There are many challenges ahead of us, but we spare no effort to do our job in the best possible way,’ said the director of the Museum of Polish Children – victims of totalitarianism.

We would like to express our gratitude to everyone who voted for us.
