The house at 64 Sienkiewicza Street in Płock, where Symcha Guterman lived with his wife Ewa and son Jakub, was entered into the register of monuments! We are very happy and hope that in the future, when the building is renovated, a plaque commemorating Symcha Guterman will be placed on its facade!
First, there was a text by Gabriela Nowak-Dąbrowska in the Płock edition of “Gazeta Wyborcza” (published thanks to Anna Lewandowska), then two requests for interpellations regarding the building to the chairman of the Płock City Council, and finally a request for interest in the matter of entering it into the register of monuments addressed to Mrs. Dorota Zaremba from Płock delegation of the Mazovian Provincial Conservator of Monuments. We would like to thank Mrs. Dorota Zaremba and Monika Zaręba for taking care of such an important matter for us and carrying out the process of entering the building into the register!
