Volume 3
In fremden Häusern
Polen und Juden in Niederschlesien nach 1945
Translated from Hebrew by David Ajchenrand
With a foreword by Yfaat Weiss
After the Second World War, Poland experienced a radical transformation of its regime, a dramatic change of its borders and a large-scale resettlement of its population. Against the backdrop of these events resulting from international agreements, Anna Holzer-Kawalko tells the ambivalent story of Polish and Polish-Jewish resettlers in the formerly German territories now transferred to Poland and their experiences with the loss and appropriation of material and cultural property. The chronology of events in connection with the new settlers’ handling of the heritage they found in their new »home« offers a new perspective on the emergence of postwar Polish society.
