Summary/Abstract: Petro Murianka, a Lemko born in Lower Silesia, where his family was relocated during the Operation Vistula, in his autobiography goes back to the time when he was fifteen years old. He recounts the co-existence of a multicultural community, the trials and tribulations of his school life, his everyday life in the country. He often looks at the history of his own nation in retrospect, drawing from written sources and his parents’ rich narratives.
