Summary/Abstract: The Polish Minority Treaty (1919) was the starting point for an international minority protection system. In 1922, another element was introduced to the system: the Polish- -German Geneva Convention regarding the Upper Silesia, which included regulations pro- tecting the rights of national minorities. Initially, it was the situation of Polish and German minorities in respective parts of the region that needed protection. However, the situationchanged in 1933 when Adolf Hitler rose to power, and the fi rst anti-Jewish legislation was introduced. Then, efforts were made to use the Geneva Convention to protect the rights of the Jewish minority in the German Upper Silesia.
