On the 15th of May the Museum and Memorial Site in Bełżec together with the Tomaszów Lubelski Branch of the Pedagogical Library in Zamość and Bartosz Głowacki Secondary School Complex No. 1 in Tomaszów Lubelski participated in annual socio-educational action “Żonkile" (Daffodils). This edition coincided with the 76th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and the Holocaust Memorial Day.

Flowers were laid and candles lit at the memorial in remembrance of murdered Jews from Tomaszów. Their persecution started on the 13th of September 1939, when German troops entered the city. At the end of September 1939 Tomaszów was entered by the Red Army which stayed there for some time. Most of Jews left the city with retreating Soviets. After reentering the city, Germans put the rest of Jews in ghettos. First deportations in Tomaszów Lubelski took place in May 1942, at the beginning of Szawuot (Shavout or the Feast of Weeks). The ghetto was liquidated in August 1942 and the majority of its inhabitants were murdered in the Nazi German Extermination Camp in Bełżec.

Educational activities concerning the two historical events were supposed to show young people tragic fates of Jews during World War II.
