period of Poles repatriation
The second wave of forced repatriation of Poles living in the territories annexed by the Soviet Union took place in 1955–1959. The widely used term repatriation, promoted by decades of Polish communist propaganda, is a euphemism for acts of expatriation. It is sometimes known as the "second repatriation", to distinguish it from the repatriation in 1944–1946.
