For the third time during the anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, the Museum of the History of Polish Jews POLIN will hold it social-educational "Daffodil" campaign.

The daffodil symobilises remembrance, respect and hope. It is linked to Marek Edelman, the last chairman of theJewish Fighting Organisation (Żydowskiej Organizacji Bojowej), which, on every anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, distributed flowers to anonymous individuals. Every year, on the 19th April, he himself would lay a bouquet of yellow flowers at the Ghetto Heroes monument - often the flowers would be daffodls.

Patron of school involvement in DAFFODIL 2015 is the Ministry of National Education.
