At the end of the Second World War, mass forced migration and
population movement accompanied the collapse of Nazi Germany's
occupation and the start of Soviet domination in East-Central
Europe. Hugo Service examines the experience of Poland's new
territories, exploring the Polish Communist attempt to 'cleanse'
these territories in line with a nationalist vision, against the
legacy of brutal wartime occupations of Central and Eastern Europe
by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. The expulsion of over three
million Germans was intertwined with the arrival of millions of
Polish settlers. Around one million German citizens were
categorised as 'native Poles' and urged to adopt a Polish national
identity. The most visible traces of German culture were erased.
Jewish Holocaust survivors arrived and, for the most part, soon
left again. Drawing on two case studies, the book exposes how these
events varied by region and locality.
