To all on the list: This presentation referred to by Rosina about the expulsion of ethnic Germans after World War II is a must-read for everyone. It is easy to understand. If you have been confused about "who was sent where" and "why," this can clarify those questions, and you will realize how far-reaching, geographically and historically, this horror was. As Rosina suggests, I'll be sure it is included with my family's genealogical information.
