Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the celebration of national days of 3 May, 15 August, and 11 November in the conditions of the second Polish “Great Emigration”. The chronological scope of the study covers the years from 1939 to 1956, i.e. from the establishment of the Polish government in France to the events in Poland that awakened hopes of Poles abroad of democratisation of the country. I focus primarily on actions of the Polish government with occasional references to some of the initiatives of the president as well as various associations, political parties and the Polish Armed Forces in the West.
