Post subject: Polish Independence Day
In the National Digital Archive - http://audiovis.nac.gov.pl/ - you can find a lot of old photographs - including those linked with the celebrations of the Polish Independence Day.
You can view them if you follow this link. You can use Google Translator to translate the descriptions.
Since 1989 when communism in Poland collapsed we can again freely celebrate National Independence Day in the whole country and outside of it.
Move back in time and see how this holiday was celebrated in 1938, less than a year before outbreak of World War II which ended by Soviet's occupation for another 50 years. [html-link]
