Polonia, an Upper Silesian daily founded by Wojciech Korfanty in 1926, remains a mine of information not only about the situation in Upper Silesia between the wars but also a notable source for any study of Poland’s politics in that period. Polonia’s coverage of national politics is important not only because the paper presents a regional point of view but also because of the light its publications throw on the conflict between Wojciech Korfanty and Józef Piłsudski.
