On Friday 17th April 2026, in Samuel Willenberg Square at the memorial dedicated to the Częstochowa Jews who perished in the Holocaust, a ceremony was held to mark the 83rd anniversary of the outbreak of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.

Members of the local Jewish community, friends and officials from the city and the region, together with high school students and kindergarten pupils, gathered to pay their respects and remember those heroes who, almost without any chance of survival, rose up against their Nazi persecutors.

The ceremony was hosted by Izabela Sobańska-Klekowska, chair of the Częstochowa branch of the TSKŻ, with the participation of students from the Słowacki High School who sang songs, and kindergarten students who planted yellow paper daffodils, which have become the symbol of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.
