The author analyzes the main problems of Poles in Germany, i.e. the teaching of the Polish language, restoration of official minority status for Poles as well as vindication and compensation for World War II damages in Polish and German press in the years 1999-2012. This was a period of heated public debate and intergovernmental negotiations of these issues. Despite the significance of the problems they did not find adequate reflection in the Polish press. Media with a right-wing orientation were mainly the ones to tackle the topic.
