Description
After 1945, Germany was inundated with German refugees ethnically cleansed from territories ceded to East European states. Using cultural historical approaches to memory, nostalgia and ethnic cleansing, Andrew Demshuk shows how these refugees came to realize that the idealized world they mourned no longer existed and began to integrate into West German society.
