Although most of them quickly returned home, it soon became clear that large numbers of eastern European DPs could or would not do so. In the aftermath of National Socialism, Germany thus ironically became a temporary home for a large population of "foreigners." Focusing on Bavaria, in the heart of the American occupation zone, Between National Socialism and Soviet Communism examines the cultural and political worlds that four groups of displaced persons---Polish, Ukrainian, Russian, and Jewish---created in Germany during the late 1940s and early 1950s. The volume investigates the development of refugee communities and how divergent interpretations of National Socialism and Soviet Communism defined these displaced groups. Combining German and eastern European history, Anna Holian draws on a rich array of sources in cultural and political history and engages the broader literature on displacement in the fields of anthropology, sociology, political theory, and cultural studies. Her book will interest students and scholars of German, eastern European, and Jewish history; migration and refugees; and human rights.Social history, popular culture, and politics in GermanyWorld War, 1939-1945RefugeesGermanyRefugeesGermanyHistory20th centuryRefugeesPolitical activityGermanyHistory20th centuryPolish peopleGermanyHistory20th centuryUkrainiansGermanyHistory20th centuryRussiansGermanyHistory20th centuryJewsGermanyHistory20th centuryWorld War, 1939-1945RefugeesRefugeesHistoryRefugeesPolitical activityHistoryPolish peopleHistoryUkrainiansHistoryRussiansHistoryJewsHistory940.53086/9140943Holian Anna Marta1866043Michigan Publishing (University of Michigan)MiUMiUBOOK9910974945703321Between national socialism and Soviet communism4473301UNINA
