This book breaks new ground by connecting two central problems faced by the Federal Republic of Germany prior to reunification in 1990, both of them rooted in the Second World War. Domestically, the country had to integrate eight million expellees forced out of their homes in Central and Eastern Europe as a result of the lost war. Externally, it had to re-establish relations with Eastern Europe, despite the burdens of the Nazi past, the expulsions, and the ongoing East-West struggle in the Cold War.

World War II and the years following it witnessed the greatest demographic turmoil in the history of mankind. As a result of Nazi genocide, Germany's aggressive territorial expansion, and the vengeance of the occupied peoples after the German defeat, millions of men and women were forced out of their homelands. Central and Eastern Europe were most seriously affected. This book takes a comprehensive look at the whole of humanity displaced by WWII, from POWs to Jewish citizens.
