Tombstone in Markuszów

Description

 

The Markuszów necropolis features the tombstone of Jan Pocek made by distinguished artist Marian Świst. The image of the poet with an open book featuring his name, dates of birth and death, sculpted in a several-hundred-year-old oak, suitably commemorates the memory and the site of eternal rest of the outstanding poet of Kaleń. The cemetery also features the graves and a monument commemorating the partisans who fought against the Nazi Germans during the last war. It is worth knowing that a very well-organized, strong underground resistance movement operated in the area of Markuszów County.

 

An interesting tombstone is located south of the partisans’ monument it is the tombstone of Wadi Gluzman, the last Jew of Markuszów who managed to survive the Holocaust. Closely bound with the local population, he remained in Markuszów after the war and worked as a carpenter. Because he was a prewar communist, his funeral was a significant event in the times of the People’s Republic of Poland. The communist authorities erected his tombstone; however, a careful reader will find a mistake on the tombstone plaque.
