Verwaltete Erinnerung - Symbolische Politik: Die Heimatsammlungen Der Deutschen Flüchtlinge, Vertriebenen Und Aussiedler

After the Second World War, German refugees, exiles, and emigrants set up a number of social gatherings in West Germany. The meeting rooms (Heimatstuben) they created had a commemorative and social function, but were scarcely noticed outside the exile world. Eisler examines their creation, institutionalization, and functions in the context of West Germany's cultural and exile policies.
