(Un)erased Heritage

Some places have disappeared from the landscape. Some houses fell into disrepair and turned into ruins. Some people were forced to leave their homes. Yet their stories remained. Seventy-five years ago, the inhabitants of Lešť and Turie Pole had to leave their native villages forever because of the expansion of a military training area. What remains of their lives can now be found in witnesses’ memories, family photographs, songs, crafts and, above all, preserved folk costumes and embroidery. Not everything that disappears is lost.
