Yes. East Prussia was absorbed into Poland and West Prussia most of Germany. The Prussians were the largest group which made up the German Federation and there will be many who survive or whose families survive to this day. The Prussians were the founders of the Teutonic Knights.

The Old Prussians or Baltic Prussians (German: Pruzzen or Prußen; Latin: Pruteni; Lithuanian: Prūsai; Polish: Prusowie) were an ethnic group consisting of medieval Baltic tribes inhabiting the lands of the southeastern Baltic Sea, roughly around the Vistula and Curonian Lagoons. During the 13th century the Old Prussians were conquered by the proselytizing crusaders of the Teutonic Knights and gradually Germanized and Polonized over the following centuries. The former state of Prussia took its name from the Baltic Prussians, although that state was led by Germans, not by the extinct Old Prussians.
The land of the Old Prussians approximately consisted of the present-day Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship in Poland, the Kaliningrad Oblast in Russia, and the Klaipėda Region in Lithuania.

Prussia is a state in the Federal German Republic (BRD). Poland got half of it after the war and the rest became part of the Democratic German Republic(DDR). When the wall came down the country was reunited including what was left of Prussia. Read the history of the Teutonic Knight and Pruthia to find out why Poland hated Prussia. Yes, Prussia still exists but no one talks about it anymore.
