    Abstract:
    Triple change of occupying authorities in Lvov in the years 1939-1945 and continual political and ethnic harassment ended in a displacement of Polish population in 1945/46. The majority of academic staff of former Jan Kazimierz University came to Wroclaw. The city was destroyed in about 70% but most of the buildings of Medical Department had survived bombings. Maintaining of what remained in the abandoned clinics and organization of research as well as teaching work was the main task of those who came from Lvov and Vilnius. End of war and hopes for the better future made all of them very enthusiastic about their work. However, this optimistic attitude, particulrly noticeable in the years 1945-1948, had by 1950 vanished as a result of substantial changes in Polish political life (centralization and nationalization). New political reality destroyed former enthusiasm and nostalgia for the abandoned city--Lvov began to grow.
