Abstract
In the second half of the 19th century the authorities of the German Empire started the implementation of the process of total Germanisation of Poles under the Prussian rule. Germanisation of schools was to play the key role in the process. The Polish language was being systematically eliminated from school programmes, and German was introduced in its place. In schools, the students could not communicate in Polish or they were brutally punished. The school falsified or concealed important Polish historical events and tried to bring up Polish children and young people as loyal Prussian citizens. However, Polish students did not given in to the pressure. Despite bans and the policy of repression, they continued to use the Polish language in schools. They withstood Prussian indoctrination and nurtured the Polish national spirit which they had known from their families, as well as the Catholic faith. They made attempts to become familiar with the true history of Poland. When the school authorities ordered that prayers and religious education should be in German, the children objected with school strikes. The greatest number of the strikes took place in most parts of Poland under the Prussian rule in 1901 and 1906. The children from Września in Wielkopolska in 1901 showed the greatest determination. Despite being tortured by their German teachers, they remained faithful to the Polish faith and Catholic identity. The generation of students who were to undergo Germanisation not only did not give in to it, but also contributed substantially to the regaining of independence by Poland in 1918.
