The book “The Most Faithful to Independent Poland. The Cursed Soldiers’ of Sądecczyzna Trail.” is one of the fruits of the project implemented by the “Żandarmeria” Association, co-financed by the “Niepodległa” Office as part of the Polish Government grant programme called “Niepodległa” (“Independent Poland”).

The book was made as a catalogue and guide of the exhibition shown in the Folk Art Museum in Paszyn, Poland. It is both a summary of the complex project’s fruits and also a partial summary of the last decade activities of the “Żandarmeria” Association’s in the context of commemorating the Polish Underground Army (WW2 and anticommunist conspiracy).

The catalogue presents information related to 6 junction points of the Cursed Soldiers Trail. These are the following cities and towns: Nowy Sącz, Nawojowa, Kamionka Wielka, Łącko and Żeleźnikowa Wielka. The book includes the stories of the selected people as well as military units of the anti-communist underground that was operating in the Nowy Sącz region after WW2 until 1954.

The texts are accompanied by archival and contemporary photographs from historical reconstructions commemorating people and historical events. The maps include soldier’s burial places in selected cemeteries. The catalogue includes also an insert: a fold-out map of the Nowy Sącz Cursed Soldiers Trail in 48 x 34 cm size.
