Is there a large German minority there, Crow?
The Germans consist majority in Lusatia. Sadly the Sorbs most probably will be completely germanized in near future. Their population is small and German government seems contend with such situation and don't want to pay for Sorbian language schools where few children attend.

nah, they dislike the germans as much as poles.
I have read an interview with one of the leading Sorbian activist and he definitely prefer Poles over Germans. He was talking about Slavic soul and etc. Still this is just one guy who actually cares about the future of his nation.
Lusatia is part of land in Eastern Germany, which as probably many of you know quite pathetic. People immigrate to the west (also the Sorbs) and most socialistic element stayed. Such lands have no bright future.
