The Almost Forgotten People of Poland | A Dominican's Interpretation Of Kashubia

What if I told you there's a whole nation hidden inside Poland?

In this video, I share my personal journey as a Dominican living in the Kashubian region (Kaszuby) of northern Poland for the past two years. I explore the Kashubian people's unique culture, their ancient language, rich traditions, and how they’ve managed to preserve their identity through centuries of oppression.

From embroidered symbols and mysterious legends to pickled herring and honey cakes, Kashubia is a world of its own—one most people have never heard of. Whether you're interested in Polish history, minority languages, or off-the-beaten-path cultures, this video will open your eyes to a fascinating community fighting to keep its roots alive.
