Nevertheless, neither nationally, nor provincially, has this group received much academic attention, especially for the years between the end of the Second World War and the building of the Berlin Wall when about 200,000 German-speaking persons arrived in Canada. Based on the life stories of fifty German immigrants interviewed in British Columbia, published biographies, and archival records from Germany and Canada, this study reconstructs the conditions in interwar and postwar Europe that led to the mass-emigration of Germans in the late 1940s and the 1950s. It argues that this migration movement was not only influenced by government policies and the support of humanitarian organizations, but also by the existence of earlier settlement facilitating chain migrations to Canada. From the port of entry, the dissertation follows the immigrants’ adaptation and integration into Canadian society. Though the vast majority of them did not speak any English, or know much about their adopted country, iv except that it must be better than what they left in war-torn Europe, Germans are generally ranked among the best integrated ethnic groups in Canada. Yet, despite this assessment, the picture emerging from the sources strongly questions the existence of a singular German immigrant identity in Canada. The distinct self-perceptions of German nationals and ethnic Germans based on their experiences in Europe during the Second World War created striking differences in their patterns of immigration and adaptation to life in Canada which are still discernible after over half a century of settlement in North America. v Table of Contents Supervisory Committee………………………………………………………………….. ii

Acknowledgements Coming to the University of Victoria in 2001 was a great decision. Though I did not know anybody in town (nor anywhere on the West Coast for that matter), the History Department quickly became a centre for both intellectually stimulating connections and wonderful friendships. The many graduate students I met during my time here made the experience less isolating while studying for comprehensive exams and then later writing the dissertation. In particular, I would like to thank Nick May and Hugh Gordon for their friendship.

    World Directory of Minorities Europe MRG Directory –> Russian Federation –> Russian or Volga Germans Print Page Close Window Russian or Volga Germans Profile According to the 2002 national census, there are 597,212 Russian or Volga Germans in the Russian Federation. Volga Germans are primarily Lutheran and Mennonite in religion. Their number has fallen by almost half since 1989, as many have taken advantage of naturalization opportunities in Germany. Historical context Large-scale German settlement in Russia first occurred in the sixteenth century following Catherine the Great's decree of 1763 granting steppe land along the Volga River to Germans. In 1924 the Soviet regime created the Volga German ASSR with German as its official language. The republic was disbanded during the war and its German population (895,637) deported to Siberia and Central Asia. The Germans were not allowed to resettle in the region despite being rehabilitated in 1965. They settled instead in Siberia, the Ural mountains and the republics of Central Asia, especially Kazakhstan. From the late 1980s, a number of German organizations were established: Revival (Wiedergeburt, Vozrozhdenie); Freedom (Freiheit, Svoboda); and the Interstate Organization of Russian Germans (Zwischenstaathischer Verein der Russlanddeutschen). These organizations have campaigned for the restoration of their homeland but have faced strong opposition from the local populations of the Saratov and Volgograd oblasts. The German Government has allocated significant funds for the creation of German cultural centres and schools in Central Asia and Russia. This has not, however, deterred hundreds of thousands of Germans from emigrating to Germany. Ethnic Germans, their spouses and their descendants have been able to naturalize as German citizens through the Law of Return, in spite of often lacking even rudimentary knowledge of the German language.

  • 1957: LUDWIG ERHARD's ANNUS TERRIBILIS Alfred C. Mierzejewski
    1957: LUDWIG ERHARD’S ANNUS TERRIBILIS Alfred C. Mierzejewski University ofNorth Texas ABSTRACT Since its inception in 1948, there has been considerable confusion about the nature of the social market economy built by Ludwig Erhard in West Ger many. This article shows that Ludwig Erhard viewed the market itself as social and supported only a minimum of welfare legislation. It shows that Erhard suffered a series of decisive defeats in his effort to create a free, com petitive economy in 1957. Thereafter, the West German economy evolved into a conventional welfare state. Introduction Germany has a social market economy.’ It was created by Ludwig Erhard in 1948. It has evolved since then, but the fundamental characteristics of that economic system have not changed. This is the generally accepted view ofthe post-war German economy.2 It is the purpose of this paper to challenge this image. I contend that Ludwig Erhard did create a social market economy beginning in 1948, an economic and social order that he defined according to his own understanding of economic theory and German economic and political history However, as a result of a series of defeats that he suffered in 1957, the social market economy began to disintegrate. By the mid-1960s, it was no more. The economic order that we saw in West Germany after the mid- 1 960s and which we see today in the united Germany is a conventional welfare state.3 The social market economy died almost forty years ago. People still speak of the social market economy today, in part, because it was never clearly defined, either by Erhard or by his closest collaborators.
