Who were the Olęders? | Dutch Colonies in Poland? (1547-1945)

The term Olęder, Polish Olędrzy largely refers to Dutch, Frisian, and German Mennonite settlers who came to Poland and Ukraine starting in the 16th century, establishing their own towns with their own unique culture and language that, in some places, survived until 1945.
