back...Competition "We were just children..."

On September 10, 2023, we celebrated the National Day of the Polish Children of War for the first time. This is a tribute to the youngest citizens of the Polish state overwhelmed by the criminal activities of the German and Soviet occupiers. The Museum of Polish Children – Victims of Totalitarianism, retaining the memory and spreading knowledge of the fate of Polish children during World War II, encourages primary school students to participate in the competition enabling them to develop historical interests and perpetuate the values that were important to many generations of Poles and are still essential to the formation of the nation's identity, such as historical memory, community and responsibility.

In the 2023-2024 school year, the three-stage thematic competition is aimed at seventh- and eighth-graders from primary schools in Lodz province.

Winners and finalists of stage 3 are entitled to have information about their participation in the competition written in the primary school leaving certificate. Moreover, winners and finalists of the Competition receive additional points in the process of recruitment to secondary schools.
