September eleven remembered in Poland.

Candles will burn again on the symbolic graves of those from the Podlasie Region in Poland who perished in the terrorist attack on the World Trade Centre six years ago.

Among them were Lukasz Milewski from Suwalki and Dorota Kopiczko from Augustow.

In the Suwalki cementary, there is a tombstone dedicated to the two who died, which resembles the Twin Towers joined by a crucifix, where candles are lit up on every September 11.

The Christ the King Chapel in Suwa?ki is dedicated to Lukasz and the church bell is named after him.

A mass is held in his honour Suwalki on every anniversary of the tragedy. Lukasz Milewski was 21 years old.

His body was one of many never identified.

Friends and family will also gather around the symbolic grave of Dorota Kopiczko from August�w who perished on the same day. Dorota and ?ukasz are also among the six names engraved on the commemorative plaque in Warsaw dedicated to the New York attack victims.

The message on the plaque reads: “In honour of the Poles who lost their lives on that day”.

In Poznan firemen will commemorate the lives of 300 of their American colleagues who then died while on a rescue mission.
