Kopice. A Story of Beauty Lost is a publication focusing on a smali village in Silesia, near the town of Grodków, in Opole Voivodeship (60 km from Wrocław and 30 km from Opole). It is a compilation of materials which provides an overview of both the growth and the decline of Kopice (German: Koppitz). At one point in its his- tory, the village was one of the major beekeeping centres both in the region and nationwide, a development in which the leading figurę was Father Jan Dzierzon, Ph.D. - the Silesian "lord of the bees”. Over the ensuing decade, Koppitz became the seat of Upper Silesia’s industrial moguls, and the home of an extraordinary woman, Johanna Gryczik von Schomberg-Godulla, subsequently Countess von Schaffgotsch (and also referred to as the "Silesian Cinderella” in local anecdote).
