Marcin Wiatr leistet einen Beitrag zur Rekonstruktion, aber auch zur Versachlichung und Weiterentwicklung des seit 1989 in Polen geführten bildungspolitischen Diskurses über die Aufarbeitung und Aneignung des deutschen Kulturerbes. Im Zentrum des Projektes steht "Oberschlesien" - einerseits als Gegenstand einer erinnerungspolitischen Untersuchung, andererseits als Schauplatz virulenter bildungspolitischer Entwicklungen, die symbolisch in das erstmalig erscheinende Geschichtsbuch zur Regionalkunde Oberschlesiens einfließen. Ziel der Studie ist, der bildungspolitischen Debatte in Polen wie Deutschland eine verlässliche Basis zu geben, um (auch) deutsches Kulturerbe als Europäisierungsmoment der oberschlesischen Geschichte zu begreifen. Weiter will sie andeuten, wie Oberschlesien als ein multikulturell geprägter Erinnerungsort im Unterricht erfolgreich vermittelt werden kann.; Marcin Wiatr contributes to the reconstruction, but also to the objectification and advancement of the Polish educational discourse on the reconditioning and adoption of German cultural heritage ongoing since 1989. A central topic of the project is "Upper Silesia" - primarily as the subject of an investigation into the political memory, and secondarily as a show-place for the virulent educational policy trends that were symbolically incorporated into the first-ever history book on regional studies of Upper Silesia. The study aims to provide a reliable basis for the education policy debates in Poland like Germany, but also to understand German cultural heritage as a Europeanisation moment in the history of Upper Silesia. Further, the study proposes ways for successfully classroom teaching of Upper Silesia as a place of remembrance shaped by multiculturalism.

In the bloody twentieth-century battles over Central Europe's borderlands, Upper Silesians stand out for resisting pressure to become loyal Germans or Poles. This work traces nationalist activists' efforts to divide Upper Silesian communities, which were bound by their Catholic faith and bilingualism, into two 'imagined' nations. These efforts, which ranged from the 1848 Revolution to the aftermath of the Second World War, are charted by Brendan Karch through the local newspapers, youth and leisure groups, neighborhood parades, priestly sermons, and electoral outcomes. As locals weathered increasing political turmoil and violence in the German-Polish contest over their homeland, many crafted a national ambiguity that allowed them to pass as members of either nation. In prioritizing family, homeland, village, class, or other social ties above national belonging, a majority of Upper Silesians adopted an instrumental stance towards nationalism. The result was a feedback loop between national radicalism and national skepticism.
