No. 85 - 'The German minority in Silesia in light of the National Census 2011'

Institute for Western Affairs' Bulletin (No. 85/2012):  prof. A. Sakson - 'The German minority in Silesia in light of the  National Census 2011'

The first, synthetic results of the National Census (NSP) 2011, published in March 2012, confirmed the tendency concerning the decreasing number of Germans and growing number of those who consider themselves to be Silesians (Ślązacy). This makes one think about the functioning of the German minority in Poland, 90% of which lives in the Silesia and Opole Provinces, its future and the direction of ethnic changes in Silesia.
