The Jews of Łowicz and the surrounding area who were murdered by the German occupiers in the years 1940-1943 were commemorated on 21 March 2024.

The Institute of National Remembrance, together with the Warsaw Ghetto Museum, is launching a project aimed at the dissemination of knowledge about the life, struggle and extermination of Polish Jews in the ghettos of German-occupied Poland. The educational  initiative involves commemorating Holocaust victims in the towns and cities in the Mazovia province where the ghettos were once located.

During the ceremony, Mateusz Szpytma Ph.D., the Deputy President of the Institute of National Remembrance, recalled that the Germans destroyed not only the lives of the Jews of Łowicz, but also what was left of their presence in the city: they burned down the synagogue, destroyed the Jewish cemetery, and used matzevot to strengthen the banks of the Bzura River.

    - Today, through this commemoration and by recalling all of the residents of Łowicz and the surrounding area, we are in a sense overcoming this war time legacy. In this way this matzeva returns in a symbolic way.

The Matzevah of Remembrance unveiled in Łowicz was co-financed by the IPN Office of Commemorating the Struggle and Martyrdom.

The unveiling of the monument was attended by the Director of the Warsaw Ghetto Museum Albert Stankowski, the Mayor of Łowicz Krzysztof Kaliński, Joanna Sulej-Piskorz, Deputy Director of the IPN's Office for the Commemorating the Struggle and Martyrdom, Artur Napióra, Deputy Director of the IPN Vetting Office and the local residents residents.

The event was organized by the Mayor of Łowicz, the Institute of National Remembrance and the Warsaw Ghetto Museum.
