29th Lemko Bonfire Abroad Successful

On August 7th – 8th, 2009, the Rusyn organisation “Stowarzyszenie Lemków“ prepared an event in the north-west of Poland, where, due to the regrettable operation “Wisla“, many Lemkos/Rusyns were evacuated from the south-east of Poland. The event traditionally takes place in Michalov and started with the symbolic lighting of a bonfire for all wrongly punished Lemkos.
