As per reports, Poland has established a new national holiday honoring the Home Army (AK), its underground resistance force during the German and Soviet occupations in World War Two. Poland’s annual commemoration of the Home Army’s formation on 14 February has now been officially recognized as a holiday, following President Andrzej Duda’s signing of a bill that was previously passed unanimously by parliament.

The new holiday will be called the National Day of Remembrance of the Soldiers of the Home Army.
