The Union of Upper Silesians ((ドイツ語:Bund der Oberschlesier), (ポーランド語:Związek Górnoślązaków)) was a movement for the independence of Upper Silesia. ==Genesis== The movement was founded by the secret Upper Silesian Committee ((ドイツ語:Oberschlesisches Komitee), (ポーランド語:Komitet Górnośląski)), started on November 27, 1918, in Rybnik by three Catholic politicians: Ewald Latacz, the chairman of Workers Council in Wodzisław Śląski as well as lawyer, and civil law notary, Thomas Reginek, a priest from Mikulczyce (today the district of Zabrze), and teacher Jan Reginek, chairman of Workers' and Soldiers' Council in Racibórz. The Upper Silesian Committee in Rybnik demanded "independent political stance" from Poland, Czechoslovakia and Germany and guaranteed neutrality similar to that found in countries such as Switzerland and Belgium. The committee had no structures and no political program.〔Andrea Schmidt-Rösler, "Autonomie und Separatismusbestrebungen in Oberschlesien 1918-1922", in: ''Zeitschrift für Ostmitteleuropa-Forschung'' Heft 1 (1999).〕 On December 5, 1918, a German-language brochure titled "Upper Silesia – independent/autonomous free state" ("Oberschlesien – ein Selbständiger Freistaat") was published by the Committee for the Creation of the Upper Silesian Free State in Katowice ((ドイツ語:Komitee zur Vorbereitung eines oberschlesischen Freistaates in Kattowitz)) and was probably written by priest Thomas Reginek. The brochure was a secret Upper Silesian Committee appeal to Silesians to take the lead in political, economic, and social questions, as well as to create an independent state like Switzerland, in which all language groups would be equal in rights. The author predicted that incorporation of Upper Silesia into Poland would be an economic catastrophe for the land, stating that it would be only "a source of incomes and taxes" for the Polish state, and that Silesians would be treated as "second category citizens" by officials from Poland.〔Piotr Dobrowolski, Ugrupowania i kierunki separatystyczne na Górnym Śląsku i w Cieszyńskiem w latach 1918-1939, Warszawa – Kraków 1972.〕
