A five-part series directed by (TV) historian Guido Knopp about the history of millions of Germans who had to flee or were expelled under the worst conditions at the end of the war as the Red Army advanced. More than 1,000 contemporary and eyewitnesses were interviewed, including Russians, Poles, and Czechs. Research in the former Eastern Bloc countries and access to previously closed archives accompanied this documentary series, which sends a message against forgetting and all forms of expulsion.

Admission is free, donations are welcome.
