Polish-Hungarian Conference Highlights the Importance of War Cemetery No. 123 and European Heritage

At the end of November, a representative from the Archives of the Historical Records in Warsaw, managing the The 3 May 1791 Constitution Site, participated in an international conference organized by the Municipality of Łużna. The event, part of the Days of European Heritage, focused on the Polish-Hungarian Conference in Western Galicia during the late 19th century.

A key topic at the conference was the War Cemetery No. 123 on Pustki Hill, which is maintained by the Municipality of Łużna. The cemetery, one of the largest in the West Galicia region, is an ecumenical site dedicated to soldiers from various nationalities who died during World War I. Located at the intersection of three military fronts, it serves as a significant historical landmark.

The cemetery is a reminder of the diverse origins of those who fought and died in the war. It plays a vital role in preserving the memory of past conflicts and the importance of peace. The discussions at the conference highlighted the need to continue honoring such sites and ensuring that the lessons of history are not forgotten. The cemetery stands as a symbol of the impact of war on European values and the importance of protecting peace.

The 3 May 1791 Constitution received the European Heritage Label in 2014.
