Called by name - a memorial site for Poles who saved Jews during World War II.
The commemorative plaques describe in detail two stories of Polish women killed by the Germans during World War II for helping Jews.
The story of Lucyna Radziejowska
In 1943, Lucyna Radziejowska took a woman under her roof, together with her 15-year-old son. Most likely, the Germans murdered the hiding Jews [1]. Lucyna Radziejowska was taken to a detention center in Sokołów Podlaski, from where she was sent to Warsaw at Pawiak. From there, she was taken on a transport from October 5, 1943 to KL Auschwitz. She was given the number 64478. Infected again with typhus, she died in the camp on March 20, 1944
