Heart for Inka

Heart for Inka This is a campaign to commemorate the heroic Home Army nurse, Danuta Siedzikówna "Inka". The hearts are silver from donations and contain earth from Inka's grave. The action aims to shape society's heroic, leadership and patriotic attitudes, especially among young women.

History

The 'Heart for Inka' action properly honours Danuta Siedzikówna-Inka and remembers her story. 'Inka' is a symbolic figure called "the nurse of the elite soldiers". The idea for the commemoration originated in Gdańsk when Prof. Krzysztof Szwagrzyk 's team searched for Inka's remains as part of the Institute of National Remembrance 's activities. Rev. Wąsowicz took part in the work as a volunteer. When Inka was found, Father Wąsowicz took some soil from her grave because, for the Salesians, Inka is an icon of youth. After the earth was transported to Piła, the idea was to collect as much silver as possible, melt it down and create an urn into which the world from the place where Inka's remains were found would be poured. A collection of silver for the urn of Inka was announced at the Holy Family parish. The unveiling of the first plaque and the silver heart with Inka's ashes took place on 1 March 2016 in Holy Family Church in Piła.
