The German Minority in Interwar Poland analyzes what happened when
Germans from three different empires - the Russian, Habsburg and
German - were forced to live together in one new state. After the
First World War, German national activists made regional
distinctions among these Germans and German-speakers in Poland,
with preference initially for those who had once lived in the
German Empire. Rather than becoming more cohesive over time,
Poland's ethnic Germans remained divided and did not unite within a
single representative organization. Polish repressive policies and
unequal subsidies from the German state exacerbated these
differences, while National Socialism created new hierarchies and
unleashed bitter intra-ethnic conflict among German minority
leaders. Winson Chu challenges prevailing interpretations that
German nationalism in the twentieth century viewed 'Germans' as a
single homogeneous group of people. His revealing study shows that
nationalist agitation could divide as well as unite an embattled
ethnicity.
