New Brochure Exposes Struggles of German Soviet Citizens After WWII
A new brochure, 'The Situation of the German Minority in Late Stalinism', has been published by BKDR. It delves into the impact of Germany's surrender on German Soviet citizens' status. Available in print and e-book formats, it's free within Germany, with shipping costing around 3€.
The brochure details the struggles of German Soviet citizens post-World War II. Despite being liberated from forced labor and camp regimes, they faced Germanophobic policies until 1956. Known as 'special settlers', they were restricted to designated areas and forced into heavy labor under the Ministry of the Interior's control.
Life was miserable for hundreds of thousands until 1956. Although they gained formal equality in 1956, discrimination persisted until the late 1980s. The German minority in Russia remains the only population group not fully rehabilitated.
The brochure, available at BKDR, offers insights into the German minority's struggles post-World War II. It's a free resource within Germany, with affordable shipping. Contact BKDR via email at [email protected] or phone at (+49)911.89219599 for more information.
