Its more than six hundred thousand inhabitants--almost all of them ethnic Germans--were expelled and replaced by Polish settlers from all parts of prewar Poland. Uprooted examines the long-term psychological and cultural consequences of forced migration in twentieth-century Europe through the experiences of Wroclaw's Polish inhabitants. In this pioneering work, Gregor Thum tells the story of how the city's new Polish settlers found themselves in a place that was not only unfamiliar to them but outright repellent given Wroclaw's Prussian-German appearance and the enormous scope of wartime destruction. The immediate consequences were an unstable society, an extremely high crime rate, rapid dilapidation of the building stock, and economic stagnation. This changed only after the city's authorities and a new intellectual elite provided Wroclaw with a Polish founding myth and reshaped the city's appearance to fit the postwar legend that it was an age-old Polish city. Thum also shows how the end of the Cold War and Poland's democratization triggered a public debate about Wroclaw's "amputated memory." Rediscovering the German past, Wroclaw's Poles reinvented their city for the second time since World War II. Uprooted traces the complex historical process by which Wroclaw's new inhabitants revitalized their city and made it their own. 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xInfluence 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xDeportations from Poland 606 $aForced migration$zPoland$zWroc?aw$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aSocial change$zPoland$zWroc?aw$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aCity and town life$zPoland$zWroc?aw$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aCollective memory$zPoland$zWroc?aw$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aWroc?aw (Poland)$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aOder-Neisse Line (Germany and Poland) 607 $aWroc?aw (Poland)$xSocial conditions$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $a1940s. 610 $aAllied powers. 610 $aAllied victory. 610 $aAllies. 610 $aBreslau. 610 $aCentral Europe. 610 $aEastern Europe. 610 $aEurope. 610 $aGdansk. 610 $aGeneral Conservator. 610 $aGerman occupation. 610 $aGerman territories. 610 $aGerman territory. 610 $aGermans. 610 $aGerman?olish border. 610 $aGnienzo. 610 $aJan Zachwatowicz. 610 $aJoanna Konopinka. 610 $aKarol Maleczynski. 610 $aKrakow. 610 $aLondon Foreign Office. 610 $aPoland. 610 $aPoles. 610 $aPolish leaders. 610 $aPolish names. 610 $aPolish national cult. 610 $aPolish people. 610 $aPolish residents. 610 $aPolish settlers. 610 $aPolish state. 610 $aPolish takeover. 610 $aPolonization. 610 $aPotsdam Conference. 610 $aPoznan. 610 $aSecond World War. 610 $aSoviet Union. 610 $aSoviet dismantling. 610 $aSzczecin. 610 $aWarsaw. 610 $aWashington State Department. 610 $aWrocalw. 610 $aWroclaw. 610 $aage-old Polish. 610 $aarchival materials. 610 $abetter future. 610 $acommunist government. 610 $acultural life. 610 $adiscrimination. 610 $aethnic Germans. 610 $aethnic minorities. 610 $aforced migration. 610 $aforced migrations. 610 $aforeignness. 610 $ahistorians. 610 $ahistoric preservation. 610 $ahistorical names. 610 $ahomogenous nation. 610 $aintegration. 610 $alocal history. 610 $amass migrations. 610 $amodern society. 610 $anational border. 610 $anonintervention. 610 $apatriotic appeals. 610 $apolitical map. 610 $apolitical power. 610 $apopulation exchange. 610 $apostwar Poland. 610 $apostwar challenges. 610 $apostwar history. 610 $areconstruction. 610 $arenaming operation. 610 $aself-reassurance. 610 $asettlement boundaries. 610 $asettlers. 610 $atradition. 610 $atransportation connections. 610 $awar. 610 $awartime destruction. 610 $awestern territories. 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xInfluence. 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xDeportations from Poland. 615 0$aForced migration$xHistory 615 0$aSocial change$xHistory 615 0$aCity and town life$xHistory 615 0$aCollective memory$xHistory 676 $a943.8/52 700 $aThum$b Gregor$f1967-$01039337 701 $aLampert$b Tom$0176493 701 $aBrown$b Allison$01039338 701 $aMartin$b W$0383550 701 $aTilbury$b Jasper$0855883 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456790203321 996 $aUprooted$92461489 997 $aUNINA
