On the 19th of April 2016 volunteers from the International Youth Meeting Centre in Oświęcim played an active role in the initiative for civic education „Daffodils” initiated by the Museum of the History of Polish Jews (POLIN) to commemorate the 73rd anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.
The daffodils are a symbol of remembrance, respect and hope. They are linked to Marek Edelman, the last commander of the Jewish Combat Organization. He received those flowers from an anonymous person every year on the occasion of the anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. He personally laid down a bouquet of yellow flowers every year on the 19th of April at the Monument to the Ghetto Heroes – very often those were daffodils.
