Migrating Memories : Romanian Germans in Modern Europe Paperback / softback
by James (University of Durham) Koranyi
Part of the New Studies in European History series
Paperback / softback
Description
Romanian Germans, mainly from the Banat and Transylvania, have occupied a place at the very heart of major events in Europe in the twentieth century yet their history is largely unknown.
This east-central European minority negotiated their standing in a difficult new European order after 1918, changing from uneasy supporters of Romania, to zealous Nazis, tepid Communists, and conciliatory Europeans.
Migrating Memories is the first comprehensive study in English of Romanian Germans and follows their stories as they move across borders and between regimes, revealing a very European experience of migration, minorities, and memories in modern Europe.
After 1945, Romanian Germans struggled to make sense of their lives during the Cold War at a time when the community began to fracture and fragment.
The Revolutions of 1989 seemed to mark the end of the German community in Romania, but instead Romanian Germans repositioned themselves as transnational European bridge-builders, staking out new claims in a fast-changing world.
