back...2nd stage of the Provincial Historical Competition “We were just children. Gehenna of Polish Children during World War II and after”
22 February 2024 was the date of the 2nd (regional) stage of the Provincial Historical Competition “We were just children. Gehenna of Polish Children during World War II and after” for elementary schools. Eighteen contestants took part in the competition organised thanks to the hospitality of the Public High School of the Łódź University of Technology. Due to the rules of the competition, not all of the pupils could qualify for the provincial stage. To the ones who, despite their vast knowledge, did not make it further during the regional stage, we would like to wish all the best in their other educational endeavours, and we hope that the seed of their passion for history – sown when they prepared for our competition – will be carefully nurtured. We would like to thank all the committed parents and the exceptional teachers we were lucky to meet during the competition.
Eight contestants from Łódź Province with a passion for Polish history during WWII qualified for the 3rd stage. We would like to congratulate them warmly, and we wait with anticipation for the final stage, which will take place on 16 April 2024.
