The Mazurian Question in the Past and Today: A Commentary to W. Pohorecki’s Article “Mazurzy w Prusach Wschodnich” [Mazurians in East Prussia] (1932)

Abstract

This paper is a commentary to W. Pohorecki’s article devoted to Mazurians in East Prussia, published in 1932. The comments focus on information which is still of interest today (data on the status of Mazurians in the interwar period, identity issues), and identify issues which are rather of historical interest (the state of education, Germanization in various spheres of life).
