  • Abstract in English: This monograph is a Jubilee volume covering all celebrations that took place in Poland (Krakow, Niedzica, Jabłonka, Lipnica Wielka and Łapsze Niżne) as well as in the United States (Chicago) of the 100th anniversary of a part restoration to Poland in the years 1918–1920 of her two border regions in the South: Spitz (Spisz) and Orava (Orawa) – after centuries of their separation from the motherland as parts of Hungary and then the Austro-Hungarian Empire until the end of the Great War when they were in turn claimed by the newly sprung Czechoslovakia. Apart from detailed reports of those celebrations, accompanied by exten- sive photo galleries, the volume covers thirteen papers presented at two com- memorative conferences – one organized by the Jesuit University Ignatinum in Krakow and the other by the county of Jabłonka (Orava) – enriched with a sizeable gallery of historical photos. The title of the book, formulated after a citation from Rev. Ferdynand Machay – one of the main engineers of the events the monograph is intended to celebrate – suggests the over- running theme of the volume, which revolves around the issue of an aware- ness as well as awakening of national identity among those inhabitants of the two regions who are not sure even today whether they are Polish or Slovak, despite the archives, mostly Hungarian (1772 and mid-19th cent.), which, beyond any doubts, identify the first settlers of the Upper Spitz and Orava on both sides of the present Polish border as Poles. All that historical confusion of identity is a result of the policies of the former occupants of those regions (Hungarians and Austrians), who feared the Polish element to the point of trying to make the inhabitants of the Upper Spitz and Orava believe that the literary equivalent of their purely Polish regional dialects – as proven even by Slovak linguists already in the 19th century – was Slovak rather than Polish, by forcing them in mid-19th century to use that language as official in pub- lic institutions and churches, and deleting the category of Polish nationality altogether from public registrars, where it was replaced with a Slovak one. Just as the very celebrations presented in the volume, its heavily docu- mented academic papers also focus on the period of 1918–1920 and the armed fight, national struggle and political efforts of the people of the Upper Spitz and Orava under their leaders to return to Poland, until by an arbitrary decision of the Ambassadors Council in Paris on July 28th 1920, they were deprived of a chance to do so in a plebiscite, as promised, and were arbitrarily divided between Poland and Czechoslovakia, more than twice as many people as those remaining in Poland, forcibly adjoined to Czechoslova- kia, which had a far greater hearing with the Parisian circles at the time than did Poland despite the unique ambassadorial mission to President Wilson of two peasant representatives of the regions, both speaking fluent English – Wojciech Halczyn and Piotr Borowy – the delegation presided over by the already mentioned Rev. Ferdynand Machay. The ultimate reason for the deci- sion was the appeasement of Czechoslovakia, which would have otherwise refused to let gen. Haller’s Blue Army formed in France cross their borders on the way to the eastern border of Poland to meet the Red Army in order to defend the country – and ultimately the whole of Europe – against bolshe- vism in the war of 1920.
