More about the book
Focusing on the experiences of Silesian expellees in post-1945 West Germany, the book explores their complex journey of coming to terms with their lost homeland. Through the lens of memory, nostalgia, and ethnic cleansing, Andrew Demshuk reveals how these expellees shifted from a desire to restore prewar borders to a recognition of the changed reality. This transformation is key to understanding the emergence of peace and stability in West Germany during the Cold War's early years, challenging traditional narratives of restoration.
