Over Tatars in Poland: Adopted Homeland

Join us on a podcast journey into the rich and often overlooked world of the Tatars in Poland—a Muslim community with over six centuries of history in the heart of Central Europe. Hosted by Maurits Berger, professor of Islam and the West at Leiden University, and Ewa Górska, socio-legal researcher at the University of Wrocław, this podcast explores the cultural heritage, everyday lives, and religious practices of Polish Tatars. Together, we travel across the Polish landscape meeting Tatars from different backgrounds and discovering stories that reveal their past and present.

5. The Headscarf

Ewa and Maurits travel to Białystok, the symbolic heart of Tatar Islam in Poland. They begin at a strikingly modern mosque surrounded by grey communist-era apartment blocks—an architectural contrast that mirrors the conflicting impressions they have about the Tatars' Islam. Their walk through its empty corridors prompts the question: why to cover one’s hair in an empty mosque? Then they visit Dagmara, one of the few Tatar Muslim women they meet who wears a headscarf and teaches Islam. It's Ramadan, and they’re welcomed into her home during a time of fasting. Dagmara shares her story of faith, gender, and identity that is quite unlike what Ewa and Maurits have heard so far.

4. Religion or Culture

What does it really mean to be a Tatar in Poland today? In this episode, Ewa and Maurits explore the blurred lines between religion, culture, and identity among the oldest native Muslim community in Europe. They speak with theatre director Róża Chazbijewicz and members of a local Tatar association, unearthing contrasting views on whether being Tatar is a matter of faith, blood, or heritage. Along the way, they examine centuries-old prayer books written in Arabic script but in Polish and Ukrainian languages—and meet a sociologist whose research reveals how funding, nationalism, and Islamophobia shape modern Tatar identity. As they move between museum archives, family stories, and academic insight, they discover that Tatarness is both proudly preserved and constantly reinvented.
