Acting on request of the students of the Professional Education Centre in Wysokie Mazowieckie, we would like to make the following statement public;

We are very sorry that the Jewish cemetery, that we were taking care of for years, has became a target of vandalism. It was first such act in our town. For us, participants of the “To Brig Memory Back” program, this was a very sad event. We would like to express our outrage and strongly condemn the profanation of the cemetery. We sincerely hope that this unfortunate incident will not obscure our actions and activities leading to bring back the memory of Jews of Wysokie Mazowieckie.
