The titled "house on the border" actually exists as some small towns around Jelenia Gora, where Poles displaced from the Eastern Borderlands and Germans from Lower Silesia found their common home. The Poles who decided to go back to Poland from the Soviet Union after the border changes spent weeks in a long journey to the so-called "Recovered Territories." They arrived in Lower Silesia, near Luban, where they were to settle in their new homes. Over there, they met Germans, who had been the owners of the houses so far and who, after the escape to Germany acting on a first impulse, against all logic and displacement plans of the Allies, came back to their family homes. War enemies a while ago became neighbors. They accepted their fate determined by the history with dignity.
