The accounts presented in the following study were taken down after interviews with the Lemko people. The main theme are reminiscences of everyday life, the war and displacement of that ethnic minority. Apart from providing information on events and people they also commemorate verbally the emotional and mental states (feelings, impressions) the protagonists had in the historical moments described. The material has been divided into four parts (according to the topics in the interview schedule). Part 1: “The life in the Lemko homeland before the Second World War” provides scant accounts of their everyday existence in the mountains. Next to the descriptions of family homes there are also memories of human relations at the time (e.g. the story about the market in Grybów, about the village inhabitants). Part 2 refers to the war and occupation. Part 3, the most extensive one (which reflects the significance of the subject) discusses the time of displacement to Ukraine and western Poland. Part 4, the last one, includes descriptions of the tough beginning in a new place, in exile.
