Opis

During and after World War II, millions of people in Central and Eastern Europe were uprooted and deported from their ancestral homelands in an unprecedented series of ethnic cleansings. The expulsion of minorities created more homogenous states than had previously existed in the region but caused massive social and psychological problems that lasted for generations. These nine case studies, written by Russian, German and Austrian scholars and based on archival findings, should shed new light on deportations and resettlement in Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia and Germany. The introduction places forced migration throughout the region in a broad historical context.

"new materials from recently opened soviet archives are presented by a number of Russian scholars, and help illuminate the political and diplomatic hidtory of the immediate post war world"



"the book is of greatest interest in revealing the products of limited culture contact between the residual ethnic groupings present in Russian and Anglophone academia: a fleeting exchange of ideas across a set of prevailing intellectual differences.
