A comprehensive and detailed account of the ethnic cleansing of the Volksdeutsch conducted by Poland, Czechoslovakia Hungary and the USSR, with the acquiescence of the Allies, at the end of World War II. Lavishly illustrated and peppered with quotations by the victims, it paints a gruesome picture of possibly the largest act of population transfer ever undertaken. So radical an action that it influences the politics of Europe to this day.
It is hard to imagine being turned out of your house with only what you can carry and driven across a border into another country, never to return. It gives the lie to the concept of collective guilt, of collective responsibility. Makes me proud to be human!
