After the change of borders, seven hundred thousand Ukrainians remained in People's Poland. They did not fit into the new vision of the state, so in the spring of 1947, the authorities decided to "finally resolve the Ukrainian issue." Deportation began, which included all "suspects of Ukrainianness", including Lemkas and mixed Polish-Ukrainian families. The mass action lasted three months. Some researchers agree that it ended in late September-early October 1947, but less systematic deportations continued for many more years. In total, about 140-150 thousand people were deported. Silence fell in many villages in Bieszczady, Low Beskids, Lublin Region and Holm Region.

      In total, about 140-150 thousand people were deported. Silence fell in many villages in Bieszczady, Low Beskids, Lublin Region and Holm Region. The evacuees settled a few hundred kilometers from here, near Olsztyn, Morong, Gizycko, Vengozhevo, in the Zelionogura, Lower Silesian, and West Pomeranian voivodeships. Since then, they have always been accompanied by fear, which they have passed down from generation to generation.
