Translation:
"(...) After centuries of foreign rule, our western borders have once again returned to the line of Odra [Oder] and Nysa [Neisse] rivers. Our western lands, liberated at the cost of many Polish lifes, are today under guard of the ones, who have winned them over. Old towers, coats of arms, villages and cemeteries have remained imperishable evidences of the Polishness of these lands. [close-up shots at some tombstones] A great work requires great sacrifices and great efforts. A great sacrifice of blood has already been made by the Polish Nation, but now we need to put into this work great endeavours and labor. (...) Thousands of Germans had to go back to where their grandparents came from. Not a single inscription in German is making our streets ugly anymore. These lands have been populated once again by Polish people. The government gave them farms, houses and jobs. They came from everywhere - from labor camps and death camps in Germany, from Central Poland, and from lands to the east of the Bug River. They came to stay here forever, to farm abandoned fields, to rebuild destroyed cities, to make damaged factories working again. There are also the ones who were born here: autochthonous West Poles, whose entire generations have managed to preserve their Polishness here under German rule. (...)"
