 abstract={The article concerns selected aspects of Polish emigration to Switzerland. The reasons for leaving homeland and the scope of activities of Polish diaspora (political, scientific/scholar, cultural, artisan) are outlined. This territorially small, federal state in Western Europe was a country of great opportunities. Several eminent Poles, known from his-tory textbooks, such as Kościuszko, Sienkiewicz, Paderewski or Narutowicz, found refuge or even new home and second homeland there. Much more numerous were (and still are) Poles about whom the history has nothing to say, but who with their hard everyday work contributed to the development of this Alpine country. At present, the number of Poles and people of Polish descent in Switzerland is estimated at 18–20 thousands. Among them are primarily the descendants of Poles who stayed in this country after the World War II or were forced into exile by the authorities of the communist Poland in the 1960s and 1970s – chiefly of Polish Jews and members of the so-called “Solidarity emigration” of the 1980s.},
