Summary/Abstract: Masurians living in contemporary Poland constitute a fragmented and scattered community. As a result of successive waves of emigration to Germany, of the approximately 80 thousand protestant Masurians in 1948 only about 5 thousand remain. They possess differing identities - some consider themselves to be German or Masurian German, some Masurian, and the rest Polish Masurian or Polish.
