Psychiatric Hospital Fire

On 1 November 1980, a fire broke out at the Górna Grupa Psychiatric Hospital. 55 patients died and 26 were injured. It was the deadliest hospital fire and one of the most tragic fires to have occurred in Polish history.[2] This event inspired the Polish poet and songwriter Jacek Kaczmarski to write the song "A my nie chcemy uciekać stąd" (en: "And we don't want to run away from here") [3]
