TITLE: Ghosts of Silesia

Upper Silesia is the southeastern part of the historical and geographical region of Silesia, located in Poland and in the Czech Republic. The world knows it mainly from heavy industry such as mining and metallurgy. What the world does not know is the mighty heritage that this region has forged. Now, with the new technological age, we must raze part of this heritage to the ground and keep it in our minds and hearts. The Ghosts of Silesia come from time to time to see what has changed and what has remained the same. They make sure that tradition and culture keep pace with the progress of technology. By increasing the power of memories, they remind us that the homeland cannot be destroyed, it is in the mind and soul of those who value it.
