Forging a New Heimat

Expellees in Post-War West Germany and Canada

About this book

Rund zwölf Millionen Deutsche verloren nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg ihr Heim in Mittel-und Osteuropa. Der grĂ¶ĂŸte Teil davon kam ins besetzte Deutschland. Meist bleibt in Forschung und Öffentlichkeit unbeachtet, dass sich auch Deutsche aus den Vertreibungsgebieten in Westeuropa, Afrika und Amerika befanden. Dieses Buch richtet seinen Blick auf Vertriebene in Westdeutschland und Kanada und zeichnet damit Erfahrungen nach, die in den Standardnarrativen zu Flucht und Vertreibung nicht vorkommen. So dokumentiert der Autor die Vertreibungserfahrungen von deutschen Kriegsgefangenen, Exilanten und Einwanderern, die in der Ferne Kanadas ihr Hab und Gut verloren. Auch derartige Erfahrungen gehören zur facettenreichen Geschichte der Vertreibung. Der Autor verglicht zwei LĂ€nder mit grundlegend unterschiedlichen öffentlichen Diskursen zur Einwanderung. Er stellt außerdem dar, wie in Westdeutschland und Kanada Vertriebene schließlich nationale IdentitĂ€ten aushandelten, die, basierend auf ihrem regionalen Kulturerbe, ihre Erfahrungen mit extremem Nationalismus, Krieg und Vertreibung wie auch die mit einigen HĂŒrden versetzte Anpassung an das neue politische, soziale und kulturelle Umfeld reflektieren.
