The article is dedicated to the chosen problems of German cultural-educational life in Grudziądz during the World War II. On one hand, education and culture constituted a crucial element of German ethnic policy, which principal purpose was re-Germanization of Polish lands incarnated to the Third Reich, and on the other hand, they created an important tie of social reality. In autumn 1939, after the total elimination of Polish education and any form of Polish cultural life, the occupier authorities started to run only German schools in Grudziądz and organize individual cultural life, accessible solely for German citizens. The Author introduces the process of launching further types of German schools and their functioning. As Grudziądz constituted an important center of educating German pedagogical staff in the period of occupancy, a great deal of attentiveness was dedicated to that issue. From the scope of German cultural life in occupied Grudziądz, two German cultural institutions which were engaged in pretty intense activity were introduced, the Municipal Museum and theatre. In the 1939–1945, German music life was also blooming, what found a reflection in the prepared article.
