Polish and Lithuanian Tatars. One history and two stories

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to discuss the problem of relations between history, memory and ethnic identity. The closer look at similarities and differences pertaining to the character of the ethnicity of Polish and Lithuanian Tatars is taken with a special focus on the vision of ethno-history shared by each group. The empirical part of this text includes the description and interpretation of four documentaries. The analysis of visual materials show how Polish and Lithuanian Tatars use their cultural resources, e.g. the history and the past (partly common, partly different) to communicate their ethnic identity.
