Masuria – Somewhere in Between
Manage episode 446809360 series 2967108
The participants visited Pisz, Mikołajki, Kadzidłowo, Ełk and Ogródek to explore the memory of the German-Polish neighbourhood of over eighty years ago. By telling this audio story, they try to understand the social relations in the area, with its ethnic-national rivalries, before 1945, when Masuria was part of Germany, and after 1945, when it was ceded to Poland and the ethnic composition of much of the population had changed. Who are the Masurians? Can we still see traces of the complicated past in the landscape of a region that is a popular holiday destination? These questions were put by the students to the witnesses of history, local activists and the representatives of the local institutions.
