Stories about this memorial
My best friends (three of my classmates from technical school) and I first visited Poland in the summer of 1968 (when we were 17–18 years old), and 50 years later, we repeated the trip. During this trip, we also revisited Poznań, where we paid our respects at the 1956 memorial plaque located at the entrance to the train station.
