Pacyfikacja wsi Strużki

The memorial consists of a 5.5-meter-high white limestone monument with a steel cross and name plates of the victims from the 1943 events.

On June 3, 1943, German forces killed 74 villagers, including 33 women and 24 children, in retaliation for partisan actions in the Strużki area.

Each year in early June, local residents gather at the memorial for a commemorative ceremony that includes field mass and artistic performances by school children.

The monument stands as a central point for annual ceremonies, featuring detailed inscriptions of the victims' names and historical information about the tragic events.

The memorial structure, built from Pińczów limestone in 1993, represents one of the most significant World War II remembrance sites in the Świętokrzyskie region.
