Documents on the Expulsion of the Germans from Eastern-Central Europe
Documents on the Expulsion of the Germans from Eastern-Central-Europe is a four volume series of books published in English by the West German Government Federal Ministry for Expellees, Refugees and War Victims, between 1954 and 1961. They were compiled by an editorial committee under the Editor-in-Chief, Professor Theodore Scheider of the University of Cologne (Koln). The series was originally published in German as Dokumentation der Vertreibung der Deutschen aus Ost-Mitteleuropa beginning in 1953.
They deal with the atrocities, murders and expulsions of the ethnic Germans from eastern Europe, where they had lived for up to 1000 years. The books are graphic in detail and contain large numbers of sworn affidavits of witnesses.
