This year, we are facing the strangest All Saints' Day in years. Closed cemeteries, no possibility of visiting family, especially grandparents, an increase in the number of COVID-19 cases, an economic crisis, demonstrations all over the country. We are all the more pleased that just before the closure of the most important necropolis in Krakow, we managed to record this film for you. We hope that it will be a substitute for visiting a family grave for you. The weather and natural circumstances were favorable to us. We invite you to a virtual walk through the Rakowicki Cemetery. Watching it, you will learn the details of the funeral of Master Matejko and the most beautiful Krakow woman in history, Helena Modrzejewska. You will visit the graves of Marek Grechuta and Jerzy Nowosielski in the Alley of the Meritorious, discover what her lovers bring to Wisława Szymborska's grave and what worries the caretakers of Tadeusz Kantor's grave. You will also see what Teodor Talowski ordered to be placed on his tomb. Remember that due to the current epidemic and the closure of the Rakowicki Cemetery, the traditional collection for the renovation of its most beautiful, historic tombstones, which has been organized for several decades by the Citizens' Committee for the Rescue of Krakow OKRK, cannot take place. This year, the collection is taking place online, be sure to add your two cents - https://zrzutka.pl/ghc5vm
