Abstract:

This study deals with the political and academic debates after German reunification that have surrounded the issue of commemorating the flight and expulsion of Germans, which had begun around the end of World War II. In the 1990s, both of Germany's two major parties, the Christian Democratic Union and the Social Democratic Party, believed that it was not only necessary to remember “victims” of the flight and expulsion but also to honor the German expellees who contributed to the post-war reconstruction of Germany. The political attention given to the forced migration of Germans arose in the co

‘EXPULSION’ IN GERMAN HISTORICAL POLICY — CONSEQUENCES FOR POLISH-GERMAN RELATIONSAfter the Second World War constant controversies and confrontations between Poland and Germany were provoked, in addition to question of the recognition of Poland’s western border, by the “fl ight and expulsion” Flucht und Vertreibung of Germans — described as “population transfer” by the Polish side — and the activity of homeland associations. In the early 1990s, after the fi nal recognition of the border and in view of the growing collaboration in many fi elds, it could seem that the controversies were resolve

Abstract:

Hans-Ulrich Treichel is a German contemporary writer born in the Western part of the then divided Germany. The research paper primarily deals with his trilogy which constitutes Lost (Der Verlorene) (1998), A Man’s Flight (Menschenflug) (2005) and Anatolin (Anatolin) (2008). In his trilogy, he addresses memory and trauma of the flight and expulsion of the Germans which he claims to be significantly absent from the German post-war literary land scape. Therefore, Treichels’s Lost (1998) is considered as a ground-breaking novel which brings the long-repressed German personal memory into the German

Abstract:

AbstractThe historiography of the postwar Germanys often examined the Nazi legacy and the remarkable efforts needed for economic and social recovery after 1945. In both the FRG and GDR, the consequences of the war and resulting “flight and expulsion” featured prominently in public discourse and were among the most pressing challenges in the early postwar years. Examining how the competing regimes in East and West Germany attempted to solve the humanitarian crisis caused by the forced migration of 10 to 12 million German refugees in the first years after World War II reveals that the discourses

Abstract:

In 1950, in the aftermath of the Second World War and after flight and expulsion had come to an end, there were about four million Germans still living in East, East Central and Southeast Europe. Between 1950 and 1975, a total of about 800,000 Aussiedler (immigrants who are recognised by the German authorities as being of German descent) passed through the West German border transit camps, and 616,000 more arrived between 1976 and 1987. Then, with the opening of the Iron Curtain, mass immigration of Aussiedler began. Against the background of glasnost and perestroika in the USSR, their numbers

Abstract:

The establishment of the Oder-Neisse border between Poland and Germany, as well as the westward shift of Poland’s eastern border resulted in migration for tens of millions in regions that had already been devastated by nearly a decade of forced evacuation, flight, war and genocide. In Poland, postwar authors such as Gdańsk’s own Stefan Chwin and Paweł Huelle have begun to establish a fascinating narrative connecting now-Polish spaces with what are at least in part non-Polish pasts. In Germany, meanwhile, coming to terms with a past that includes the Vertreibung, or forced migration, of million

Abstract:

Film history marks the various transformations in the material and imaginative relations between Germans and Poles in the postwar era. This article explores how film—the primary contemporary vehicle for imaginative communities—has played an important role in envisioning various spatial relationships, as well as the political and cultural shifts in the general population of Germany, West and East, and Poland. The article surveys the representation of flight and expulsion from the East first in the fictional feature film and then in the documentary genre. It then turns to contemporary production

Abstract:

Individual or collective coping with stereotypes - as actors or victims - belongs to human history, and shows different expressions, such as “Black and White” in Africa and America, “Jews”, “Sinti and Roma”, and “East and West” in Europe; also prejudices concerning generation, sex/gender, and professions belong to this context. This essay emphasizes, in an exemplary way, on a particular aspect of stereotyping: For Germans, 1945 was (also) the year of flight and expulsion from the East to the West as a kind of master-narrative; filled with stereotypes and myths, this narrative formed their coll

Abstract:

From 1945 to 1950 more than 12 million people considered to be German were forcibly displaced in Germany in its new restricted borders. The story of this migration, described as flight and expulsion, is highly complex. The analysis of its "forgetful narrative" in German-language cinema shows that the latter has played a major role in carving out two places of memory for the flight, the Treckand the shipwreck of the Wilhelm Gustloff, in the collective memory. It has also helped to build the myth of successful integration while neglecting to portray the events linked to expulsion, because of com

Abstract:

Images of German victims have become a ubiquitous feature of political debates and mass-mediated cultural events in recent years. This paper argues that changing representations of the Holocaust have served as a political cultural prism through which histories of German victimhood can be renegotiated. More specifically, we explore how the centrality of the Holocaust in Germany informs how the postwar expulsion of twelve million ethnic Germans has been remembered during the last sixty years. Most interpretations of the destruction of European Jewry and the expulsion of ethnic Germans from Polan

Si ces débats sont souvent interprétés comme le signe du passage de cette mémoire du domaine communicatif au domaine culturel (Assmann), c’est-à-dire comme le signe de "négociations" attendues dès lors qu’il s’agit de la pérennisation et de l’institutionnalisation d’une mémoire de groupe au sein de la mé
