In the years of 1945-1948, fifteen million German people were forced to leave their homes during the Ethnic Cleansing and Expulsion authorised by the winning powers of the Second World War - the biggest exodus that has ever occurred in Europe.
The suffering of Germans who were expelled, murdered or transported to labour or concentration camps has been thoroughly wiped out of history books and records. Statements about Germans' suffering in relation to the Second World War are doomed to be ridiculed or considered revisionist.
As a Jew whose family perished in the Holocaust, I attempt to shed light on the story of the German civilians from a new perspective, driven by a gesture of sympathy instead of antagonism.
Sentenced To Oblivion is not only a gravestone for three million nameless dead, but also a question about history, of which we are at the same time makers and victims.
