The memorial plaque honouring the fallen and murdered inhabitants of Serock on the South wall of the Serock City Hall
Building of the city hall in the main market
square of Serock in the years 1994–97 was
an important part of revitalisation of the old
town’s urban layout. The function of the
central square was restored, not only as
the market place but also the site of public
celebrations.
On 11 November 1998, on the southern wall of the City Hall facing the church, a memorial plaque was unveiled in honour of the inhabitants of Serock fallen and murdered during the first World War, the Polish- Bolshevik war, on all the frontlines of the 2nd World War and those murdered or perished in German and Soviet camps. The site hosts celebrations related to Independence Day and anniversary commemorations of the beginning of the 2nd World War.
The main square bore witness to many historical events such as military parades and other patriotic manifestations but also tragic moments such as round-ups of Poles to be deported to Germany for forced labour and a round-up of around 2500 Jews at dawn of 5 December 1939 before being deported to ghettos and concentration camps.
