Political, Moral and Legal Aspects of the Resettlement of German Population After World War II
POLISH REVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL AND EUROPEAN LAW 2018, Vol. 7, Issue 2 WOLLT IHR DEN TOTALEN KRIEG? Political, Moral and LEGal Aspects of the Resettlement of German Population After World War II Jerzy Kranz* Abstract: Germany had started the Second World War in an intentional and conscious manner, obviously being aware that every action can have unpredictable and unwanted consequences. The Potsdam decisions were taken by the Great Powers after assuming supreme authority in Germany. They constituted a manifestation of the Allies’ rights and responsibilities. The territorial changes of Germany and the transfer of population were part of the general regulation of the effects of the Second World War. These decisions were not a simple matter of revenge. They must be perceived in a wider political perspective of European policy. The resettlement by Germany of ethnic Germans to the Reich or to the territories it occupied constituted an instrument of National Socialist policy. This German policy turned out in 1945 to be a tragic irony of fate. The resettlement decided in Potsdam must be perceived in the context of German legal responsibility for the war’s outbreak. The individual perception of the resettlement and individual guilt are different from * Professor, Department of International Law and European Union, Kozminski University 9 Jerzy Kranz the international responsibility of the state and from the political-historical responsibility of the nation. In our discussion we made the distinction between the individual and the collective aspect as well as between the legal and historical/ political aspect. We deal with the guilt of individuals (criminal, political, moral), the international legal responsibility of states, and the political and historical responsibility of nations (societies). -

Local Expellee Monuments and the Contestation of German Postwar Memory
To Our Dead: Local Expellee Monuments and the Contestation of German Postwar Memory by Jeffrey P. Luppes A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Germanic Languages and Literatures) in The University of Michigan 2010 Doctoral Committee: Professor Andrei S. Markovits, Chair Professor Geoff Eley Associate Professor Julia C. Hell Associate Professor Johannes von Moltke © Jeffrey P. Luppes 2010 To My Parents ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Writing a dissertation is a long, arduous, and often lonely exercise. Fortunately, I have had unbelievable support from many people. First and foremost, I would like to thank my advisor and dissertation committee chair, Andrei S. Markovits. Andy has played the largest role in my development as a scholar. In fact, his seminal works on German politics, German history, collective memory, anti-Americanism, and sports influenced me intellectually even before I arrived in Ann Arbor. The opportunity to learn from and work with him was the main reason I wanted to attend the University of Michigan. The decision to come here has paid off immeasurably. Andy has always pushed me to do my best and has been a huge inspiration—both professionally and personally—from the start. His motivational skills and dedication to his students are unmatched. Twice, he gave me the opportunity to assist in the teaching of his very popular undergraduate course on sports and society. He was also always quick to provide recommendation letters and signatures for my many fellowship applications. Most importantly, Andy helped me rethink, re-work, and revise this dissertation at a crucial point. -
German-Polish Reconciliation in Comparative Perspective: Lessons for Japan? ドイツ・ポーランド和解を比較的視野に置 く——日本にとっての教訓たり得るか

In 2008 and 2009, a series of historical issues once again defined the public space of Japanese-South Korean and Japanese-Chinese relations: the revisionist essay of General Tamogami Toshio; Prime Minister Aso Taro’s acknowledgement of the use of slave labor in his family’s wartime mine; new flare-ups in the longstanding territorial disputes over the Senkaku/Diaoyu and Takeshima/Dokdo islets; ministerial visits to the Yasukuni Shrine; and Japanese government approval of another amnesiac history textbook whitewashing Japan’s World War II aggression.2 These developments could be viewed as another episode in the periodic eruption of Hatoyama (left) and Lee in Seoul, October history-related problems that have affected 9, 2009 Japan’s bilateral ties openly since 1982, with the anticipation that they will ebb and flow Since assuming office, Prime Minister depending on domestic and international Hatoyama’s first visit to Seoul instead of circumstances. -
Germany and Japan As Regional Actors in the Post-Cold War Era: a Role Theoretical Comparison
Alexandra Sakaki Germany and Japan as Regional Actors in the Post-Cold War Era: A Role Theoretical Comparison Trier 2011 GERMANY AND JAPAN AS REGIONAL ACTORS IN THE POST-COLD WAR ERA: A ROLE THEORETICAL COMPARISON A dissertation submitted by Alexandra Sakaki to the Political Science Deparment of the University of Trier in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Submission of dissertation: August 6, 2010 First examiner: Prof. Dr. Hanns W. Maull (Universität Trier) Second examiner: Prof. Dr. Christopher W. Hughes (University of Warwick) Date of viva: April 11, 2011 ABSTRACT Germany and Japan as Regional Actors in the Post-Cold War Era: A Role Theoretical Comparison Recent non-comparative studies diverge in their assessments of the extent to which German and Japanese post-Cold War foreign policies are characterized by continuity or change. While the majority of analyses on Germany find overall continuity in policies and guiding principles, prominent works on Japan see the country undergoing drastic and fundamental change. Using an explicitly comparative framework for analysis based on a role theoretical approach, this study reevaluates the question of change and continuity in the two countries‘ regional foreign policies, focusing on the time period from 1990 to 2010. Through a qualitative content analysis of key foreign policy speeches, this dissertation traces and compares German and Japanese national role conceptions (NRCs) by identifying policymakers‘ perceived duties and responsibilities of their country in international politics. Furthermore, it investigates actual foreign policy behavior in two case studies about German and Japanese policies on missile defense and on textbook disputes. -

“Then He, Who Would Not Need to Do This, Kneels Down in Lieu of All Those Who Should, but Who Do Not Kneel Down” – Wil- Ly Brandt in Warsaw on 7 December 1970
“Then he, who would not need to do this, kneels down in lieu of all those who should, but who do not kneel down” – Wil- ly Brandt in Warsaw on 7 December 1970 Fifty years ago, the then Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, Willy Brandt, came to Poland to sign an agreement on normalisation of mutual relations between both countries. This visit, as well as the most famous event related to it, were described by Prof. Grzegorz Berendt, a historian and vice- director of the Museum of the Second World War in Gdańsk. The meaning of a single poem can sometimes have more impact than a volume of scientific studies on the same subject. It is similar as in the case of gestures which are more memorable than any words. One of such gestures was the way of paying tribute to the victims of the Holocaust chosen by the Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, Willy Brandt, on 7 December 1970 in Warsaw. For over two decades, the governments of the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic Republic were led by people who opposed the Nazis during the Third Reich. Both countries condemned the persecution and extermination of Jews in the period of 1933-1945. However, it was the state authorities of the FRG who undertook to actively express repentance of the crimes committed on the Jewish people by the representatives of Germany. This was motivated by the fact that the Soviet Union adopted a deeply reluctant attitude towards Israel and the Zionist movement, even before the creation of the FRG and the GDR at the turn of 1948 and 1949. -

German Parliament Petition
German Parliament Printing Matter 17/9185 17th Legislative Period 27.03.2012 Translation from German original (http://dipbt.bundestag.de/dip21/btd/17/091/1709185.pdf) by Abdulmesih BarAbraham Petition The Members of Parliament Volker Kauder, Ute Granold, Erika Steinbach, Arnold Vaatz, Frank Henry, Peter Altmaier, Michael Brand, Michael Frieser, Jürgen Klimke, Stefan Müller (Erlangen), Klaus Brähmig, Ralph Brinkhaus, Marie-Luise Dött, Ingrid Fischbach, Dr. Mary Flachsbarth, Dr. Egon Jüttner, Dr. Carsten Linnemann, Christian Schmidt (Fuerth), Gerda Hasselfeldt and the Parliamentary Group of the CDU/CSU as well as Marina Schuster, Serkan Tören, Pascal Kober, Dr. Stefan Ruppert, Rainer Brüderle and Parliamentary Group of the FDP. Ensuring continued existence of the monastery of Mor Gabriel The Bundestag may decide: I. The German Bundestag asserts: The Syrian Orthodox monastery Mor Gabriel is located in southeastern Turkey near the Syrian border, in the Turkish province of Mardin and in the district of Midyat (region of Tur Abdin). The monastery and the local community see themselves threatened in their existence. It is feared that the monastery of Mor Gabriel could be confiscated and rededicated based on court cases pending since several years. This threatens the break of a cultivated liturgical and monastic tradition of more than 1600 years. Since the monastery has a crucial role in the maintenance of Syrian Orthodox Church liturgial and everyday language and as an institution ensures the continuity of the heritage of the Syrian-Orthodox population, the culture of the Syrian Orthodox Christians remains at risk as a whole. A judgment of the Turkish Cassation Court became legally binding in mid-July 2011 regarding the so-called forest lawsuit.
