Displacement and Expulsion – Causes and Ramifications

What causes forced migration? What does it mean to lose your home or homeland? This guided programme explores major instances of displacement and expulsion in 20th-century Europe, focusing in particular on 14 million Germans who were displaced during and after the Second World War . Through installations, testimonies and objects from the Permanent Exhibition participants gain insight into what it means to have to leave everything behind and to start all over again far from home. Biographical background information on the exhibits and questions relating to the current issues open up a space for discussion within the group.
