About

In 1973 Gorécki encountered a short prayer found on the wall of Cell No.3 in the Gestapo Headquarters (known as ‘The Palace’) in Zakopane. It had been written by Helena Wanda Blazusiakówna, an 18-year old girl imprisoned in September 1944. The writer begs the Virgin Mary not to desert her in her hour of need. This text inspired the famous second movement.
