On November 11, 1918 Poland regained its independence after 123 years of captivity

 

This year, an expression of patriotism is that we will stay at home, that we will be at home with our family, and celebrate the day of regaining independence with our loved ones - appealed today by Health Minister Adam Niedzielski.

November 11 was established as Independence Day in 1937. After the Second World War, the communists abolished it and established the National Day of the Rebirth of Poland to commemorate the establishment of Polish Committee of National Liberation. The Independence Day was restored in 1989 as the National Independence Day.
