This study deals with the political and academic debates after German reunification that have surrounded the issue of commemorating the flight and expulsion of Germans, which had begun around the end of World War II. In the 1990s, both of Germany's two major parties, the Christian Democratic Union and the Social Democratic Party, believed that it was not only necessary to remember “victims” of the flight and expulsion but also to honor the German expellees who contributed to the post-war reconstruction of Germany. The political attention given to the forced migration of Germans arose in the context of the “ethnic cleansing” issue stemming from the Yugoslav Wars. Starting from 2000, the Federation of Expellees sought to establish the “Centre Against Expulsions” in Berlin. This documentation and information centre was planned to commemorate the history of flight and expulsion in Europe, including the German case. The initiative was grounded in its rejection of “forced expulsion”, which causes human rights violations. Chancellor Angela Merkel, who actively accepted the idea of the Federation of Expellees, expanded the project “Centre Against Expulsions” on a national scale through an agreement with the Social Democratic Party. The Foundation for Displacement, Expulsion, Reconciliation that manages this project was established in 2008, and the Documentation Centre for Displacement Expulsion, Reconciliation opened in 2021. During the construction of the center, conflicts arose between the foundation board members, who were appointed by the Federation of Expellees, and the scientific advisory board. These disagreements pertained not only to the operation of the foundation but also to the planning of the centre's permanent exhibition. The issue at hand was the potential relativization of Nazi crimes, which could arise from an overemphasis on the sufferings of Germans. After these conflicts, the permanent exhibition at the Documentation Centre deals with the issue of forced migration of Germans within the framework of European history and reveals the causal relationship between Nazi expansionist policies and the expulsion of Germans. However, the current exhibition style of the centre has not fully alleviated concerns about the relativization of Nazi crimes and carries the limitation that it could potentially lessen the responsibility of the Germans for the Nazi regime.
