Abstract

This paper presents the struggle for the crosses in public places. It was fought in the years of 1981-1988 between the communist authorities and the Poles for whom the cross is the greatest value. The author pays homage to all those who defended the cross and very often risked repressions and persecutions from the totalitarian authorities. In this way they gave a beautiful and profound testimony of loyalty to God and to their homeland. The author based this study on the sources from the Division of the Institute of National Memory in Rzeszów.
