 In her narrative Bronisława Guza (born in 1929) talks about the life of her family in Obertyn – a small town in the former Stanisławów province – starting from 1930s and WW2 period, to the post-war years when she came to Lower Silesia. In her recollections she describes places that played an important role in the town’s life: Saints Peter and Paul’s church and priests serving in it, a convent belonging to the Congregation of the Servants of the Holiest Virgin Mary of the Immaculate Conception from Stara Wieś, along with an orphanage run by the nuns (which she used to attend as a child), the market square on market days, various shops, houses, a mound made to commemorate the battle of Obertyn in 1531, as well as a cross standing on its top. She tells us about relations between Obertyn’s inhabitants: Poles, Ukrainians and Jews – how they established and maintained close bonds, together celebrated holidays and weddings, participated in funerals, and so on – and about mutual respect for other denominations and customs. Bronisława Guza’s story of WW2 contains recollections of the Soviet and German occupations, circumstances of the Soviet re-entering at the end of March and at the beginning of April 1944, and of the activity of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists on these territories. The key moment for this time in history was in 1945, when a vast majority of the Polish community of Obertyn was resettled to the Western Territories. Bronisława Guza and her family ended up in Siedlce near Oława, where initially she lived together with the German, evangelical community of the village. The inhabitants settled down in the new place and tried to adapt to the new life conditions.

Najazd na Polskę dwóch sąsiadujących państw: III Rzeszy Niemieckiej oraz Związku Socjalistycznych Republik Radzieckich we wrześniu 1939 r., który skutkował IV rozbiorem Polski, przyniósł Rzeczypospolitej ogrom cierpień i miliony ofiar. Konsekwencje napaści z 1 i 17 września 1939 r. ujawniły niespotykaną dotychczas brutalizację działań wojennych poprzez prowadzenie tzw. wojny totalnej. Masowy terror i eksterminacja ludności w imię wyznawanych przez okupantów ideologii, doprowadziły do tragedii wielu narodów. Przez minione dekady nie eksponowano udziału Związku Radzieckiego w inicjowaniu kolejnego rozbioru Polski. Jednak sąsiad ze Wschodu, w wyniku tajnego porozumienia, łamiąc traktaty pokojowe i pakty o nieagresji, posługując się jawną konfabulacją, zajął wschodnie terytorium kraju. Północno-wschodnie Mazowsze we wrześniu 1939 r. znalazło się na arenie zainteresowania dwóch agresorów. To właśnie przez te ziemie przechodziła granica „obszaru interesów” okupantów. Doprowadziło to do sytuacji, w której jednolity administracyjnie i gospodarczo region został sztucznie podzielony linią graniczną, niemającą żadnego historycznego, etnicznego, administracyjnego oraz gospodarczego uzasadnienia.

The invasion of Poland by two neighboring countries: the German Third Reich and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics in September 1939, which resulted in the Fourth Partition of Poland, brought a great deal of suffering and millions of victims. The consequences of the assault of September 1 and 17, 1939 revealed an unprecedented brutalization of hostilities by conducting the so-called total war. Mass terror and the extermination of the population in the name of the ideology professed led to the tragedy of many nations. Over the past decades, the participation of the Soviet Union in initiating the next partition of Poland has been taboo. However, a neighbor from the East, as a result of a secret agreement, breaking peace treaties and non-aggression pacts, using open confabulation, occupied the eastern territory of the country. In September 1939, north-eastern Mazovia was in the arena of interest of two aggressors. The border of the "area of interest" of the occupiers passed through these lands. This led to a situation in which the region administratively and economically uniform was artificially divided by a border line that had no historical, ethnic, administrative or economic justification.
