Produktbeschreibung
The conservative US politician Patric J. Buchanan once said: "The world knows everything the Germans did; the world knows nothing of what was done to the Germans."
While today's schoolchildren have access to extensive training and educational material on German war crimes, the war crimes committed by the Red Army on East German soil are in danger of being largely forgotten and disappearing from media perception.
The recently opened "Documentation Centre Flight, Expulsion, Reconciliation" in Berlin is an example of the taboo and the suppression of the events of Nemmersdorf in October 1944. In its exhibition concept, the centre classifies the Nemmersdorf massacre historically in a few sentences, but in the finished permanent exhibition on the upper floor, "Nemmersdorf" is not mentioned in a single syllable on the text panels! This is all the more surprising since Nemmersdorf is regarded in most publications about East Prussia in 1944/1945 as the beacon for the flight and expulsion of the Germans.
This unconventional comic October '44: The Liberation of Nemmersdorf aims to close these gaps in the German culture of remembrance by depicting the repressed experiences of the Second World War from the perspective of our grandparents and great-grandparents. In addition to the comic, the volume includes a detailed editorial section in which the author, a trained historian, presents his research findings along with sources.
