The Bolesławiec County website states:
The new neighbors who arrived here just after the end of World War II, in the territories between the Bóbr and Kwisa rivers (on the edge of the beautiful Lower Silesian Forests), were united by the desire to begin a new life, free from the fear and hardships of the past. They shared a common dream, even though they had arrived from different parts of the world. Today, we strive to use this diversity to gradually build the identity of our county community.
In recognition of the achievements of the descendants of the first settlers, who came to us from many places in Europe and around the world, Bolesławiec County is organizing a popular-science conference on April 1 this year dedicated to the 70th anniversary of returns—migration and remigration.
Partners representing remigrants from France, the Eastern Borderlands, central Poland, the former Yugoslavia and the indigenous population were invited to collaborate. The following organizations became involved in preparing the conference: the Society of Friends of Lviv and the Southeastern Borderlands, the Association of Remigrants from Bosnia, Their Descendants and Friends, the Siberians' Association (Bolesławiec branch), the “Peasant Circle” Association, the “Former Crafts” Foundation and the Polish-French Friendship Society based in Wrocław, as well as academic institutions, including the State Archives in Wrocław, the Ethnographic Museum in Wrocław, the Pedagogical Library in Bolesławiec and the Institute of Slavic Philology of the University of Wrocław, which assumed honorary patronage of the event.
We will return to the subject.
