abstract = "In this essay, as a background, I reflect on how the German language was liquidated in post-1945 Poland{\textquoteright}s region of Upper Silesia where nowadays the country{\textquoteright}s German minority is concentrated. But the main focus is on the irony that neither this language, nor a genuine German minority education system has been revived during the last quarter of a century that has elapsed since the fall of communism in 1989, despite promises to the contrary.
