Breslau existiert nicht mehr — aber seine Deutschen erinnern sich noch
630,000 people lived here. Barely two percent were Polish. Wrocław was the eighth-largest city in Germany—a European metropolis with 700 years of history. The Gothic Rynek (market square). The cathedral on Cathedral Island. The Centennial Hall. A university where Ferdinand Lassalle laid the foundations of German social democracy. And then came January 1945. What followed was no ordinary war story. It was a double expulsion: The Germans had to move west. The Poles who came had just lost their own homeland—their cities were now in the Soviet Union. Two peoples. Two losses. One city caught in the middle. In this video, we pose a question that has no easy answer: To whom does the history of a place belong—to those who built it, or to those who live there today? 📚 All information is based on verified historical sources: Wikipedia DE, ome-lexikon University of Oldenburg, Rosa Luxemburg Foundation, ENRS, Federal Agency for Civic Education. ─────────────────────────────── 🔔 Subscribe to Lost Germany — for the stories no one tells anymore. ─────────────────────────────── 📖 Sources: Wikipedia DE: Breslau ome-lexikon.uni-oldenburg.de: Breslau/Wrocław Rosa Luxemburg Foundation: 1945/46 – The First Post-War Year in Breslau enrs.eu: Wrocław in Polish History eeo.aau.at: Breslau (City) Federal Agency for Civic Education: Forced Resettlement, Flight, Expulsion 1939–1959 #Breslau #Silesia #LostGermany #Expulsion1945 #GermanHistory 📚 NOTICE OF USE AND SOURCE This video was created exclusively for educational and informational purposes.
