During the ceremonial, Bogdan Białek, president of the Jan Karski Society, said the following words: “We should always remember about the German crime, especially at the time when the world would gladly forget about it, and we should always remember about the Righteous who did not stay indifferent, especially today, when we act as though anti-Semitism did not exist.”
