'Poland is catholic, and a pole is a catholic.' The oppressed evangelical masurians after the Second World War

Jarlert, Anders LU (2021) p.101-118
Abstract

The fate of the Masurian Lutherans in eastern Poland is one of the tragedies of modern Europe. This chapter monitors the various, and often contradictory, attempts to transform a group that often escaped attempts at cultural and political classification. During the post-WWII era, various efforts to support this group were made by the part of European co-religionists. In this chapter is found a first history of the short-lived Swedish Church Masurian Aid.
