During the Second World War, the Polish community in Switzerland increased to several thousand people. Interned Polish soldiers worked for Swiss economy and defense. Memory of this fact has been preserved until the present day, being expressed through gratitude and fondness the Swiss demonstrate towards the Poles. During the tough period of war, Polish soldiers not only earned enough to make a living for themselves, but also contributed to the development of Switzerland’s economy. This good reputation the Poles enjoyed among the Swiss translates into a discreet – typically Swiss – but also very sincere fondness of the latter towards the former. In consequence, individuals and local authorities alike protect the memorabilia of Polish soldiers, i.e. shrines, tombstones, and memorial plaques put on buildings or by the roads. The Polish Museum in Rapperswil, Ignacy Jan Paderewski Museum in Morges and Tadeusz Kościuszko Museum in Solothurn are all co-fi nanced by Swiss canton authorities, which has allowed these institutions to remain active until the present day.
