On July 6, 2006, a ceremony of unveiling a plaque commemorating the Jewish community of Mogilno, and, in particular, victims murdered by the Nazis in September 1939, took place. Foundation for the Preservation of Jewish Heritage in Poland coordinated the commemoration project; the plaque was funded by Mr. Adam Brzuszkiewicz.
The ceremony was attended by a representative of the Israeli Embassy, the Mayor and the Starosta of the Mogilno district, catholic priests, representatives of the Foundation, and a large group of guests from Israel. It was witnessed by a crowd of Mogilno citizens.
On the plaque there is an inscription in Polish and in English saying:
“On this site a synagogue was located from 1904 to 1939. On September 18, 1939, the synagogue was blown up by the Nazis, brutally killing sixteen Jewish citizens of Mogilno, including six children in ages between three and eight years old.
