Powojenne losy pastorów ewangelickich na Mazurach w świetle publikacji w „Masurische Storchenpost”

Abstract

The author of the article points to the importance of evangelical pastors in Masuria after World War II, when the German and Masurian populations were without pastoral service. This problem was constantly taken up in a periodical of the German minority in Warmia and Masuria, entitled „Masurische Storchenpost” (“The Masurian Stork Post”), where fragments of pastor Edward Małłek’s memoirs were steadily published. As the author concludes: „Looking back on the post-war life and activities of evangelical pastors in Masuria, I conclude that their labor was not in vain. (…) Even though they did not manage to stop or even to weaken the wave of migra tion of the native population to Germany.
