The national conistrubultion to the Racławice Panorama appears to be very significant; the people invoked inspiration for its creation and organised various rescue actions in the difficult periods of its history. The author goes back to the time when the national appreciation of the victorious battle of Racławice was felt to be capable of upholding the patriotic spirit of the nation and for thiis reason it was decided to finance the Panorama. He presents several cases when this national monument was rescued but he highlights social actions after April 1944 when the pavilion in Lvov was destroyed, the painting damaged, rolled up, stared and eventually taken to Wrocław. Attention is drawn to the fact that it was only the activities of the last Racławice Panorama Social Committee — widely supported by the Polish people at home and abroad, assisted and highly appreciated in respect of their significance by the authorities — that seem to have contributed successfully to the saving of the Racławice Panorama and to making it available to the public again.
