TON management

The Secret Teachers' Organization (TON) was created in October 1939 in Warsaw (founded by Zygmunt Nowicki, Kazimierz Maj, Waclaw Tłodziecki, Teofil Wojeński and Czesław Wycech).

Since the first days of Nazi occupation, she has organized secret teaching, help for teachers, hiding the sought-after intelligence representatives, helping prisoners in concentration camps and prisons. It built its structures throughout the General Government and influenced the territories connected to the Reich (Pomerania, Silesia). She worked with the Government Delegation to the Country and the Armed Struggle Union, and then to the Headquarters of the Home Army. Despite the threat of punishment for illegal teaching, many teachers did not stop their vocation and served the youth throughout the World War II. Thousands have lost their lives in concentration camps and Gestapo prisons.

The secretaries of the teaching of the Polish Teachers' Union founded the monument in front of their seat in Warsaw on the Kosciuszko Coast.

By virtue of the Resolution of the Katowice City Council No. VIII / 130/11 dated 18 April 2011, the square at the junction of ul. T. Kościuszki and ul. Brynowska was named the site of the Secret Teachers' Organization. The resolution entered into force on 7 June 2011.
