One of the adages of the postwar period was: "Just one atom bomb, and we will be back in Lwów" ("Jedna bomba atomowa i wrócimy znów do Lwowa").[22] Polish settlers in former German areas were insecure about their future there until the 1970s (see Warschauer Kniefall). Eastern settlers did not feel at home in Lower Silesia, and as a result, they did not care about the machinery, households and farms abandoned by Germans. Lubomierz in 1945 was in good condition, but in the following years, Polish settlers from the area of Czortków in Podolia let it run down and become a ruin.
