A collection of contributions on conquerors, settlers and displaced: Germans in Eastern Europe after World War II. Particularly interesting is the third part of the book, recounting the fate of civilian Germans left behind. They suddenly did not live in Germany anymore, but in Poland, Czechoslovakia, the Soviet Union. Many were discriminated, attacked or killed; most were forced to move to the "new" Germany's (West and East Germany). After arrival, they were discriminated by their own people. In total, about 12 million displaced Eastern European Germans were eventually absorbed into the population of these two countries.

A collection of essays giving a well researched and comprehensive overview of German settlers in Eastern Europe and their fate after the two world wars. Full of insights and attempts to understand the moral issues in play.

In einer Reihe von Essays wird die Geschichte der Deutschen im Osten Europas erzählt. Vom Mittelalter bis zu den frühen Nachkriegsjahren. Alles kompakt gehalten, im Querschnitt und auf hoher Flugebene. Fand ich persönlich gut: man bekommt einen guten Überblick, verliert nicht den roten Faden und es gibt einen Anreiz für weitere Recherchen.

Gute Zusammenfassung der Geschichte der Deutschen im Osten -- ein Teil der Völkervermischung, die am Ende Europa ausmacht.
