Journey of Heroism and Memory – in the footsteps of the SNP in the Bansk\u00e1 Bystrica Region<\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”35px”][vc_column_text]The Slovak National Uprising (SNP) began on 29 August 1944 shortly after 8:00 p.m. in Bansk\u00e1 Bystrica, right in the center of the Bansk\u00e1 Bystrica Region, when J\u00e1n Golian sent out the signal “Start with the evacuation”.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

From that moment on, many places in the Bansk\u00e1 Bystrica Region became witnesses to heroic deeds as well as tragic events of a significant milestone of the Second World War period (1939 – 1945).
