Survivor accounts of the Sudeten German expulsion

Compiled by Wilhelm Turnwald and presented here in translation, the book brings together almost 400 accounts from survivors of the postwar expulsion of ethnic Germans from Czechoslovakia’s border districts. Its documentary structure places individual testimonies at the center, gathering them into a record of displacement and violence in the aftermath of World War II. The publisher frames the collection as an effort to memorialize those affected and to draw attention to a history it says has been insufficiently acknowledged. The volume is therefore focused on testimony and historical remembrance, rather than a single narrative or an overview organized around one account.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers researching the postwar displacement of Sudeten Germans and its historical memory.
  • Readers interested in collections of survivor testimony and documentary accounts of ethnic expulsion.

Book overview

The end of World War II marked the beginning of one of the most gruesome genocides in history: the expulsion and destruction of the Sudeten German ethnic group as it existed at that time in the border districts of Czechoslovakia, a country that had been established in 1918 by the victors of World War I.

 

In a scandalous perversion of every sense of justice, the post-War Federal German governments have kept this genocide hushed up: the truth about this racially-motivated extermination, perpetrated by Czechs upon Germans in the wake of WWII and never atoned for, is considered undesirable! German victims are politically incorrect and evidently their place is under the carpet.

 

The book you are holding in your hands is a translation of almost 400 survivor accounts of this ethnic cleansing that expose this crime against humanity in its entire horrible extent - a long-overdue memorial to almost 2 million expelled and murdered ethnic Germans.
