insights into the social, political, and economic challenges the
expellees posed to the rival German states and sheds light on the
contentious issue of German citizenship." The International History
Review
" This] collection has many strengths. It provides a handy,
concise introduction to a wide range of topics. The chapters are
written in clear, lucid prose, and they reflect extensive research
and expertise. ... The book should prove very useful for advanced
students and others interested in the integration of ethnic German
expellees and re-settlers in post-1945 Germany." H-German
The end of World War II led to one of the most significant
forced population transfers in history: the expulsion of over 12
million ethnic Germans from Central and Eastern Europe between 1945
and 1950 and the subsequent emigration of another four million in
the second half of the twentieth century. Although unprecedented in
its magnitude, conventional wisdom has it that the integration of
refugees, expellees, and Aussiedler was a largely successful
process in postwar Germany. While the achievements of the
integration process are acknowledged, the volume also examines the
difficulties encountered by ethnic Germans in the Federal Republic
and analyses the shortcomings of dealing with this particular
phenomenon of mass migration and its consequences.
