Europe has a long history of state-led population displacement on
ethnic grounds. The nationalist argument of ethnic homogeneity has
been a crucial factor in the mapping of the continent. At no time
has this been more the case than during and after the Second World
War. Both under the aggressive expansionism of the Third Reich and
after Germany's defeat, millions were brutally forced out of their
homelands. Presenting a history from the top as well as the bottom,
People on the Move reconstructs the complex map of forced
population displacements that took place across Europe during and
immediately after the Second World War.

In Deutschland bot im Jahr 2001 die 300-Jahrfeier der Erhebung
Preussens zum Koenigreich Anlass fur eine vertiefte
wissenschaftliche und oeffentliche Auseinandersetzung mit der
preussischen Geschichte. In Italien blicken die
Geisteswissenschaften auf eine lange Tradition der
wissenschaftlichen Beschaftigung mit preussisch-deutschen Themen
zuruck. Die Veranstaltung des Deutsch-Italienischen Zentrums Villa
Vigoni zum Thema "Italien und Preussen" vom Oktober 2002, deren
Beitrage hier zusammengestellt sind, gab Gelegenheit zu einem
'Dialog' der italienischen und der deutschen Geschichtsschreibung.
Gustavo Corni offers a balanced and comprehensive study of Nazi
agricultural policies and German agriculture between 1930 and 1939.
The author gives a full account of the decisive rural support for
the Nazi party during this period and describes how the Nazi
agrarian ideology was developed to gain mass support.
Hundreds of ghettos were created throughout eastern Europe by the
Germans and their allies during World War II. Some were large - the
one in Warsaw held almost half a million people in 1942 - others
were very small. All had the purpose of holding the Jews separate
from the rest of the population, almost invariably in
extraordinarily deprived, squalid and crowded conditions. They
became antechambers to the death camps but that purpose was not
clear to most of their inhabitants. These cities within cities
merit consideration then, not just as staging posts in the
extermination of European Jewry, but as communities in their own
right, with their own dynamics, in which elements of traditional
pre-war Jewish society continued to exist. There have been some
studies of the largest ghettos - Warsaw and Lodz - and a few
accounts of some of the smaller ones; but very little examination
of the ghettos as a whole. This history draws heavily on the
testmonies of those who suffered in them, making use of a wide
range of diaries and memoirs (and exploring the problems inherent
in such sources). Other documentary sources - particularly German -
are also used, but the intention is to look at the gh
