On 1 september 1939 Germany attacked our country-Poland and it began World War II. Our country had two enemies. On 17 september1939 the Soviet Union also attacked Poland. World War II was a most horrible at our history. From the end of this war passed 63 years.

Our community every year remember World War II. On the break out anniversary day and the finish of World War II assemblies are organized, Masses are celebrated, meetings with veterans take place. The people put the flowers by the memorials and on graves of soldiers.

At the school we study history about the war and read books which tell the war`s stories. On the TV documentary and feature films about the war are shown. The most famous memorials are in Gdańsk-Westerplatte, Auschwitz museum in Oświęcim. It was a concentration camp, where 6 mln people were murdered.

A lot of people were involved in some aspect of the World War II. My grandfather and grandmother were taken out of the country for slave labour. The Polish soldier fought on the different fronts for example: in Norway – Narwik, in Africa-Tobruk. The Polish pilots contributed to rescue England in 1940. In this war not only soldiers died but also civilians. It was genocide and breaking of any principles.
