Polish schools in tribute to the American people in memory of the 150th anniversary of the independence of the United States

Polish schools in tribute to the American people in memory of the 150th anniversary of the independence of the United States

In 1926, a great campaign was organized in Poland to collect signatures with wishes in tribute to the American people in memory of the 150th anniversary of the independence of the United States. This event was attended, among others, by schools in Płock, including the 7-grade Public Primary School No. 4, headed by Ide Mania Kahan, and the 7-grade Public Primary School No. 8, headed by Masza (Maria) Bromberger. Teachers and children placed their signatures on specially prepared sheets, which today are an extremely valuable source of knowledge about school communities of this period.

The collection of wishes from 5.5 million Polish citizens is stored in the US Library of Congress.
