The ceremony of consecration of the monument to the Roma people murdered in 1944 in Dębina Gorzędowska. The place of the tragedy was a small forest grove near the villages of Kocierzowy, Wąglin and Gertrudów. Here, in July 1944, about 60 Roma lost their lives. Women, children and men were shot by German gendarmes. A dozen or so people survived from the camp in Dębina Gorzędowska, mainly children, who were outside the camp at the time of the massacre. As a result of the exhumations, the remains were laid to rest in the Roman Catholic parish cemetery in Konstantynów Łódzki. On September 24, the monument was consecrated by Father Dean Leszek Kaźmierczak.
