Marek Kuchciński: On 11 November we gave evidence of great attachment to historical heritage and bonds uniting the Polish nation

The Association for the Remembrance of Polish Thermopylae and the Borderlands, the National Museum of the Przemysl Region, and the History Meeting House in Warsaw took the initiative to recall the complicated history of our nation and the dramatic struggle to incorporate the eastern lands of the former Polish Republic into the Polish state which was reborn in 1918. During the meeting at the Przemyśl museum, the participants talked about the Treaty of Brest, the "Fourth Partition of Poland," the nationwide protest and the Battle of Rarańcza; the German occupation of Central and Eastern Europe; the conflict between Polish territorial aspirations and the independence aspirations of the Lithuanians, Belarusians and Ukrainians; the turbulent history of the Polish Corps in Russia, the capture of Bobruisk and the battle of Kaniów; the proclamation of the West Ukrainian People's Republic; the outbreak of the Polish-Ukrainian war for Lvov and Eastern Galicia; the emergence of the Lithuanian and Belarusian Self-Defense Forces; and the battles for Vilnius at the turn of 1918 and 1919.

In a letter addressed to the President of the Board of Directors of the Association for the Remembrance of Polish Thermopylae and the Borderlands, the Speaker of the Sejm thanked, among other things, the reminder of Polish aspirations for independence and the formation of the borders of the Republic of Poland.
