Summary/Abstract: Inhabitants of the Podhale region, who in the wake of Operation Vistula grazed their sheep in the Low Beskidy Mts., left the worst possible memories among the local people – the arrivals devastated Uniate churches and shrines, destroyed the crops, and behaved in the manner of victors in a vanquished land. Little mention has been made of these issues, since they contradict the myth of the “ancient Polish” and “honourable” Podhale highlander.
