Polen und seine Deutschen

Germans in Poland? For many in Germany, this does not sound like the European present, but rather like the past, after war and expulsion, after political and ideological disputes. In fact, German-Polish relations are often still overshadowed by the past, especially by the Second World War, which began exactly 70 years ago with the invasion of the Wehrmacht. Yet a surprising European success story has taken place in western Poland, in the former German Silesia, in recent years.
