AbstractBrief description of a Ph.D. dissertation written by Pascal Maeder: "Forging a New Heimat: The Expellees in Post-War West Germany and Canada." Maeder utilized archival research for his social and political history, examining oral histories, autobiographies, and other primary documents. While his work focuses on the political activism of expellees, it also provides extensive descriptions of their migration experiences and how they made sense of these experiences.
