The lie of Polish past in these times continues to be the best. We have seen many times about the fact that we have missed the historical fact of the Ukrainians and Jews. However, among the organizations to which Polish society does not yet pay specified urgent attention, and which conducts its work under the foundation of the inviolability of the Polish territory is the Non-governmental Organization of the Silesian Autonomy Movement (hereinafter RAŚ).
For years, Roman Fritz has been a associate of the Polish Parliament. The speeches of contemporary Wojciech Korfantego on the issue of the Silesian Gwara will go to the past of the best parliamentary speeches in the Polish parliament:
Mr Roman Fritz as a Pole and at the same time Mr Ślązak has been beating the alarm for years in connection with the actions undertaken by the RES to undermine the Polishness of Silesia. In fresh days, the organization has utilized the re-burial of the large Polish attacker Ernest Wilimowski.
It would seem that leaning over this issue should be a reason to praise alternatively than reprimand, but manipulating past clearly shows hostile behaviour towards the Polish state or a complete deficiency of cognition about the subject of posts posted on the RAŚ website.
On 16 August this year, the organization shared information about the next footballer's burial on 30 August, writing about him as a legend ... Movement and representation of Silesia[1]. While this message is true, it strikes a deficiency of information about the player's contribution to the past of Polish football and the deficiency of a broader context of the case of “Silesian Representation”.
Ernest Wilimowski was born in 1916. most likely his biological father was killed in the war. parent remarried to the Silesian insurgent Roman Wilimowski, who soned a young boy. He played football phenomenally, becoming an icon of the Polish ball. 1 of his unpaved career cards was taking part in the first Polish Mundial squad match in 1938 against Brazil[2].
After the outbreak of planet War II as a citizen of Silesia, who was annexed to the 3rd German Reich in violation of global law, he signed a volkslist and went to Germany for the encouragement of the Polish squad coach Józef Kaluża.[3]. A further football career, including the German team, saved him from military service on the front. At the same time, contacts (including the ace of German aviation Colonel Hermann Graf) allowed him to save the parent whom the Germans sent to the concentration camp in Auschwitz[4].
Ernest Wilimowski. photograph from athletics Review No. 45.It is worth referring here to an entry posted by RAŚ. In his football career, Ernest Wilimowski was most successful in the Polish backyard in the colours of the Chorz movement. It is simply a pity that the authors of the entry did not emphasize the context of the then realities in Silesia. For thousands of supporters, not only Polish, it was clear that the Chorz movement was a symbol of the Polishness of Silesia.[5].
In his career Wilimowski besides appeared in the colours of Silesia. And again the authors of the entry “forgotten” added that it was a squad of Polish Silesia, whose most common rival was the representation of German Silesia[6]. The fact that these matches, in which Ernest Wilimowski defended the colours of the Polish Silesia, were in the interest of the full fans' Polish planet is evidenced by the fact of the coverage of these events in the Polish athletics Review[7].
This example best shows the direction in which the communicative presented by the RAŚ is conducted. A clear fight is taken with all accents showing Polish past of Silesia. The larum that Roman Fritz has been raising in the Polish Parliament for weeks is not empty slogans, but warnings about dangers that most of the alleged Polish elites do not see or want to see.
