On Monday, 9 November, at 8:00 p.m., a silent march will take place in Kraków in memory of the victims of Saturday’s attack. At the invitation of the city’s mayor, President Karol Nawrocki and Prime Minister Donald Tusk will take part.
Where and when
The march is being organised by Łukasz Gibała, Mayor of Kraków. Participants will gather at the corner of the Main Market Square and Sławkowska Street, with the start scheduled for 8:00 p.m., the city authorities announced on Kraków’s official account on X.
The purpose of the march is to commemorate those who died in the attack and to express solidarity with the injured and their families. On social media, Gibała wrote that in these difficult times it is worth showing that Kraków “will always be a proud city, but also a welcoming and open one”.
Condolence book
Kraków has also opened a condolence book for the victims. It is displayed in the lobby of the Kraków City Hall at Plac Wszystkich Świętych (entrance from the Wyspiański Pavilion side). People can sign it until Wednesday, 11 November, from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
What we know about the attack

The perpetrator died in hospital early on Monday morning. In the flat of his family in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski, police found the bodies of the attacker’s parents and sister.
