Ceremonies in Opole – 80th Anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising
During the ceremonies, flowers were laid, patriotic songs were sung, a mass was celebrated, and an honorary salute was fired. The commemoration of the “W” hour was also marked by ceremonial speeches, the laying of wreaths by invited guests, and a historical camp, one of whose attractions was the mobile box.
Deputy Mayor of Opole, Maciej Wujec, was among those who spoke, highlighting the significance of the Uprising for the entire nation:
“In a military context, the Warsaw Uprising was an action against the Germans. However, ideologically, it was also a fight against communism. We, Poles, have a mandate to loudly oppose all aggression and dictatorships. And we nurture this memory of the heroism of the Polish insurgents. Last year, we unveiled the monument of Colonel Witold Pilecki.”
