At the beginning of September, we invite everyone to the premiere of a documentary film produced by the Nobiscum Foundation on the initiative of Arieh Bomzon and Sandra Brygart Rodriguez – descendants of the Bomzon and Brygart Jewish families from Płock. The film shows their sentimental journey to the hometown of their ancestors and their efforts to discover their roots and “fill the genealogical suitcase”, as well as get to know places related to the past of their families.
The film was based on interviews conducted by the Nobiscum Foundation with Arieh and Sandra in the spring of 2023. Appearing in the documentary are also, among others: Arieh’s sons – Ze’ev, Ilan and David, his granddaughter Tomer, Sandra’s son Evan, as well as the residents of Płock who, at various stages and in various roles, accompanied our heroes in discovering the history of their families.
We invite you to the double premiere of the film on Sunday, September 1, 2024, at 6 p.m. at the Darmstadt House in Płock (8 Old Market Square) and on Monday, September 2, 2024, also at 6 p.m., at the Memorial House in Płońsk (2 Warszawska Street).
The event is included in the program of the European Days of Jewish Culture 2024, held under the slogan “Family”.

The cold winter of 1941. Against the background of a neglected building on Kwiatka Street in Płock, six people stand in the snow. Chawa Papierczyk – a young woman with dark, smoothly combed hair, parted in the middle. A smile appears on her face. All pre-war photos of Chawa show her as a joyful, smiling woman. Rachelka is standing in front of her. She is three and a half years old. Mother and daughter pose with Bajla Lichtensztajn (Chawa’s mother) and Icek Grosman (grandfather) and (probably) Mojsze Lichtensztajn and Majer Grosman.
There are round patches on Chawa’s and Icek’s coats, on the left side of their chests…
The photo was taken in the Płock ghetto. A little over a month before its liquidation in February and early March 1941. Chawa wrote on its back the date “January 9, 1941” and further we read: “Abram! May this photo ease your suffering and longing for us…” Chawa, Rachelka, Bajla, Icek, Mojsze and Majer shared the fate of thousands of Płock Jews deported to the transit camp in Działdowo and further to various towns of the Radom district. Today is the 83rd anniversary of the beginning of the liquidation of the Płock ghetto and deportation of its residents.
The photo comes from the private collection of Itai Vishnia. It is one of several dozen photographs that will be included in a publication devoted to the Papierczyk family prepared by the Nobiscum Foundation, entitled “For you, who will never be forgotten…”

On January 27, on the anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp in 1945, the International Holocaust Remembrance Day is held. This day was designated by the UN General Assembly on November 1, 2005.
For many years, the Shalom Foundation has been inviting people to join the commemoration of the victims of the Holocaust by lighting a candle in the window. As Gołda Tencer appeals: “On this day, we would like to recall the shadows of those murdered in the ghettos and camps, a lit candle will be a symbol of remembrance. We appeal to everyone to commemorate the victims of the Holocaust on this day at 6:00 p.m. by placing a lit candle in the window. It is everyone’s duty to “Make sure that the light of remembrance never goes out in our consciousness.”
In response to the appeal of the Shalom Foundation, we encourage you to light a candle in your window on January 27 at 6 p.m.
Our duty is to remember.
Exactly 150 years ago, on January 22, 1874, born in Płock was Józef Kwiatek – socialist activist, journalist and the patron of the street that was once the heart of the Jewish district. His biography can be found on the JewishPlock.eu website: https://jewishplock.eu/en/jozef-kwiatek-en/
