Summary/Abstract: The author introduces the reader to the post-war account of German Jesu- its who survived the atrocities of 1945 in Opole and described it in a report, a copy of which is kept in the Archivum Romanum Societatis Iesu in Rome. The account of the Germans, as displaced persons, shows the tragedy of the situation, which could not have been perceived by their Polish confreres. The article is, in a way, a supplement to the account of the Polish Jesuits from August 1945, well known in the reading circle, who took over the Opole monas- tic institution after their German confreres.
