Maćkowice is a village located in the Przemyśl county, before World War II mostly inhabited by the Ukrainian population, who, due to the state border changes in 1944 and the subsequent directives, had to leave its small homeland. The goal of this article is to show how, after years of forced separation, former inhabitants perceive this beloved but lost place, what emotions it evokes in them, but also what strength and determination it incites to secure the historical boundaries of the village, now limited to a cemetery and a church.
