On July 21, 2020, thanks to the efforts of Leader of Dialogue Ireneusz Socha Dębica commemorated the anniversary of the liquidation of the local ghetto for the fifth time. Due to the COVID-19 restrictions, this year’s ceremonies of 2020 Dębica Jewish Community Memorial Day were narrowed to honoring the memory of Holocaust victims at the place of deportation to the Bełżec death camp and at the mass grave of over 500 Jews killed in Wolica Forest in the outskirts of Dębica. People gathered at the Memorial Day were joined by another Leader of Dialogue, Tomasz Malec from Sędziszów Małopolski, who traveled to Dębica to honor his town’s Jewish community, which was deported by the Nazis to Dębica ghetto.
