Forgotten Places

In June 1942, six thousand Jews were taken and shot dead in woodland near the town of Tarnow. Among them that day were 800 children. Should you go there today, there is a peaceful woodland, where green grass covers their mass graves. Few people know who is buried in these woods, and few really care. No-one knows who those children were, they have no names, no faces, and no-one to remember them. Who can remember what they were like, what personalities they had, their hopes and dreams? The memory of those 800 children is forever lost. Like all of the 1,500,000 children killed by the Nazis, their lives are no more than figures on a page.
