Wychodzenie z wojny. Kraków 1945–1947

From 1945 to 1947 Cracow was rebuilt after the tragic times of the war and occupation. It was one of the most difficult periods in its history. The people who lived in Cracow hoped that the former form and size of the city would be restored. On the other hand, they hoped that both everyday and festive life would be the same as before the war. The life after the war in Cracow was the same as in the other cities. However, the opposition attitude to the authorities’ actions caused that Krakow was perceived as the dangerous city which should be “under the special control”. The new, imposed reality was coming slowly.
