A cross-media project: The Crimean Tatars
In Germany, far too little is still known about the Crimean Tatars. In addition, their cultural heritage is in constant danger due to serious human rights violations and displacement. We want to hold on to it and support the Crimean Tatars, also in the spirit of the Crimean Tatar civil rights activist Nariman Dschelal. He says that it is essential to know your own past and present in order to find a way into the future. Therefore, we worked intensively with an editorial team on a book, documentary film and media library in 2024.
As a joint effort by Crimean Tatar, Ukrainian and German-speaking academics, journalists, artists and human rights activists, our book is a book against lies and disinformation and is intended to contribute to the preservation and dissemination of the history and culture of the Crimean Tatars.
The publishers of the book are:
Society for Threatened Peoples,
Initiative “Qırımlı”,
Crimean Tatar Cultural Center KERMEN,
Institute for Caucasica, Tatarica and Turkestan Studies (ICATAT),
UA:SOUTH // CEMAAT
Berlin Info-Point Crimea
