Eastern Beskids

The Eastern Beskids (in Slovak, Východné Beskydy, in Polish considered part of the Western Beskids, the Beskidy Zachodnie) is a set of mountain ranges spanning the northern Slovakian and southern Polish border.

Famous quotes containing the word eastern:

    “Should the German people lay down their arms, the Soviets ... would occupy all eastern and south-eastern Europe together with the greater part of the Reich. Over all this territory, which with the Soviet Union included, would be of enormous extent, an iron curtain would at once descend.”
    —Joseph Goebbels (1897–1945)
