Wartime Cultural Reality in the Light of Egodocuments Related to Upper Silesian Catholic Parishes

The paper will be devoted to the reflection on the egodocumental determinants of the chronicle records (mostly unpublished) from the Second World War which concern the Upper Silesian Catholic parishes. These records primarily reflect the ambiguity of human attitudes, experiences and their consequences in existentially difficult moments, constituting a testimony to dramatic and, above all, ethically ambiguous events.
