71st Anniversary of Warsaw Ghetto Uprising

On Saturday (19th of April), several hundred volunteers will walk the streets of Warsaw and other cities in Poland. They will be handing out specially designed paper daffodils, explaining their meaning and encouraging people to attach the flowers to their clothes to show they remember about the Uprising.

Real daffodils will be planted around the Museum of the History of Polish Jews (opposite the Ghetto Heroes Monument) and next to Warsaw Uprising Museum.

The Daffodil Action is aimed at raising awareness about the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, and is an element of commemoration of its 71st anniversary.


“Daffodils” Campaign – Remembering Together

Daffodils are associated with Marek Edelman, the last commander of the Jewish Combat Organization. Every year on the anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising he placed daffodils at the Monument to the Ghetto Heroes in Warsaw, Poland and at other sites associated with the extermination of Jews.

Daffodils campaign was initiated by the Museum of the History of Polish Jews in 2013 to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. Over 500 volunteers joined to the campaign and attended essential training. They handed-out 50 000 paper daffodils pins and about 80 000 brochures with historical information. TV news presenters at every major TV channel were wearing daffodils on that day, extending the reach of the campaign to millions of viewers. Yellow daffodil became well-recognized and legible symbol of remembrance of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.
