The general aim of this paper is to offer a semiotic description of processes which has been taking place within the so called “Culture Talk” in Silesia, the region in the west-south part of Poland bordering with Germany where the Polish people were resettled from the east part of Poland after the World War II. The German population was completely resettled westwards, behind the new borderline of the Odra and Nysa rivers. In this region the Polish settlers met with the foreign (pre-war) German culture. The process of communication between the present Polish and the previous foreign German culture has taken place not only in the aspect of time but also in terms of material and mental communication. The translations of the German pre-war literature into Polish made by the author of this paper occurred crucial when speaking about identity and roots of the people who settled down in Silesia after the World War II and about building relations between Polish and German people.
