New podcast on one of Europe's oldest Muslim communities
For over six centuries, the Tatars have been part of Poland’s social and cultural fabric. In this 8-episode series, released weekly, professor Maurits Berger and assistant professor Ewa Górska explore how this Muslim minority has maintained its identity across generations, how Islam is practiced in a Polish context, and what this tells us about the broader place of Muslims in Europe.
Berger (Leiden University) and Górska (Digital Justice Center, University of Wrocław) travel across Poland, meet Tatar families and community leaders, and dig into archives to understand how this little-known community navigates between tradition, religion, and national belonging.
Tatars in Poland is available on the website Tatars in Poland, Spotify en Apple Podcasts.
