Działalność Bronisława Piłsudskiego na rzecz ludności Spisza i Orawy. Na marginesie listu do Bolesława Wysłoucha
The activity of Bronisław Piłsudski for the people of Spisz and Orawa. Based on a letter to Bolesław Wysłouch

Summary/Abstract: Bronisław Piłsudski (1866–1918) is primarily known in the world for his research work into the peoples of the Far East. There is not so much information about his 108 Karolina Zięba activities in Galicia as well as in Spisz and Orawa. However, a letter written in 1912 to Bolesław Wysłouch (1855–1937), found in the records of the Friends of Polish Tatra Highlanders Association, represents a testimony to his wide-ranging activities on Polish land. After returning from exile, B. Piłsudski was involved in museum and social activities in Galicia. He remained in contact with the Polish intelligentsia, working to maintain national identity during the partitions. This group also included B. Wysłouch – editor of “Kurier Lwowski”. The presented article highlights the context of actions to raise awareness of the national identity in the so-called “Forgotten Borderlands”.
