	Poland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is bordered by Germany to the west, the Czech Republic and Slovakia to the south, Ukraine and Belarus to the east, and the Baltic Sea, Lithuania, and Russia (in the form of the Kaliningrad Oblast exclave) to the north.
		The eastern part was ruled by the Russian tsar as a Congress Kingdom, and possessed a liberal constitution.
		The eastern part of the German occupied zone was transformed into the General Government area, and the western part (the areas that belonged to Germany before World War I) was simply incorporated to the German Reich.

		The Eastern Rite "Uniate" Church, which primarily served the Ruthenians, was renamed the Greek Catholic Church (See Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church) to bring it onto a par with the Roman Catholic Church; it was given seminaries, and eventually, a Metropolitan.
		The emigration started as a seasonal one to Germany (newly unified and economically dynamic) and then later became a Trans-Atlantic one with large-scale emigration to The United States, Brazil, and Canada.
		The Great Economic Emigration, especially the emigration to Brazil, the "Brazilian Fever" as it was called at the time, was described in contemporary literary works by the Polish poetess, Maria Konopnicka, the Ukrainian writer, Ivan Franko, and many others.

	An International Symposium "Southeastern Europe 1918-1995"
		The leadership of the German minority came to the conclusion that the only way to have minority rights in a state, in which the national question presented the centre of political conflicts, was to strike bargains with leading political powers.
		German settlements in Banat were situated in the vicinity of Veliki Beckerek (Zrenjanin) along the Romanian-Yugoslavian border and in the northern part of Banat around Velika Kikinda.
		German settlements in Backa were situated mainly in the southeastern portion of Palanka, Novi Sad, Odzak, Kula, Apatin, and Sombor, and in the relatively small part of Yugoslav Baranja around Popovaca and Beli Manastir.

		In Eastern Europe, Stalinism eased, and some of the social changes of the West were present as well, with the Soviets emphasizing its new status.
		Europe's direct power in the world, as demonstrated in the Suez crisis of 1956, was dramatically reduced.
		To halt emigration, the Berlin Wall was constructed in 1961, and the border between Soviet-controlled Eastern Europe and the West was marked by barbed wire.

		German emigrants have received, by and large, warm welcomes and opportunities to acculturate—opportunities denied to past and current in-migrants to Germany.
		While the focus of the Bremerhaven conference was to address current issues of refugees in Germany by looking at the state of historical research on German migration issues, the natural time lag between the research presented at the conference and the publication of this work in 1995 perhaps detracts from the timeliness of the effort.
		The focus is on the westward migration of Germans from Europe to North America from the 1820s to the 1930s, and the basic assumption is that in-migration, internal migration, and out-migration are interrelated.

	Gardiner - German Settlements in Eastern Europe
		The other part of the German expansion, into Russia, outlying areas of Romania, and elsewhere, was at the end of the 1700s as a result of a general increase in European population.
		This stage was followed by Germanic colonization of Eastern Europe where very fertile, previously untilled, soil was available to satisfy the hunger for land.
		Other German settlement areas in Romania (dating to the 1800s) are the Bukovina (in the Northeast), Dobrudscha (Romanian Dobrogea, on the Black Sea), and Bessarabia, the easternmost strip of Romania part of which is now in Ukraine.

		The 8,250,000 Germans who fled or were expelled from postwar western Poland - formerly East Prussia and the eastern part of prewar Germany - made up a vociferous, organized group, but lost much of their influence since the German-Polish Treaty of November 14 1990, giving official recognition to the postwar German-Polish frontier.
		German Chancellor Helmuth Kohl at first opposed recognition of the Polish-German frontier and thus the inclusion of Poland in the unification conference, because he feared to lose the votes of those Germans or their descendants, who came from the German territories awarded to Poland in 1945.
		Indeed, the Germans were on the outskirts of Moscow and might have taken the capital in October 1941 if there had not been an early winter, or if Hitler had left enough armored divisions near Moscow to defeat Georgy Zhukov's counter attack of 6 December that year.

		As a matter of fact, when the decision to emigrate was impelled by the desire to become a farmer with one's own land or a craftsman with one's own business, this also implied a rejection of the rigidity of the social class structure in the authoritarian German states.
		Politically-motivated emigration began in earnest in the 1830s when the reactionary forces governing in the post-Napoleonic period persecuted liberals and democrats.
		Heavy emigration from the regions east of the Elbe River occurred in the last third of the 19th century.

		The polar opposite of this German political culture clearly was the political system proclaimed in Philadelphia on July 4, 1776, by a self-styled "continental" congress of delegates of thirteen colonies that the king of Britain had declared to be in a state of rebellion.
		The first German translation of the Declaration of Independence in Europe was produced in the Swiss city republic of Basel in October 1776 by the philosopher and secretary of the city council Isaak Iselin.
		Germans who articulated political ideas, it is safe to assume, were aware of the American as well as the French Revolution, and they had access to information about its major texts, including the Declaration of Independence, either in French, German, or English.

	36 Questions About the Holocaust - Simon Wiesenthal Center Multimedia Learning Center
		There were Germans who defied the April 1, 1933 boycott and purposely bought in Jewish stores, and there were those who aided Jews to escape and to hide, but their number was very small.
		In Eastern Europe and especially in Poland, Russia, and the Baltic States (Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania), there was much more knowledge of the "Final Solution" because it was implemented in those areas.
		This was particularly true in Eastern Europe, where there was a long standing tradition of virulent antisemitism, and where various national groups, which had been under Soviet domination (Latvians, Lithuanians, and Ukrainians), fostered hopes that the Germans would restore their independence.

		Most of the other refugee problems, involving tens of millions of Karelian Finns, Sudeten Germans, and Muslims and Hindus in the Indian subcontinent, faded away as displaced populations were absorbed in countries of similar religious and/or national character.
		By the 1950s, just 5,000 Jews remained in Syria, subjected to harsh decrees; they were banned from emigrating, selling their property, or working in government offices, and were compelled to carry special cards identifying them as Jews.
		This program of ethnic cleansing came hard on the heels of Hitler's plot to make Europe "Judenrein." Using tactics of terror, Arab/Islamic leaders effected a plan to expel their Jewish citizenry, indifferent that its execution would mean the death of thousands, gleeful of the untold wealth it would transfer into their coffers.

		According to the Pope, it was much easier for Christians to turn away from the reality of gas chambers and death camps with preconceptions of Jewish responsibility for Christ's death coursing through the veins of those transfused with early childhood Christian religious education.
		From the Middle Ages on down through modern times, Jews were persecuted throughout Europe, as social and economic steps were taken to counter what were seen as demonic traits coupled with purported genetic predisposition to greed, gluttony, and manipulation of the monetary system.
		In Europe, the seeds of ecumenism were sown as various Christian churches had worked during the war in concert against Fascism.

	Anti-Semitism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		This was especially true in places Like Germany, France and Austria where the Jewish population tended to be more secular (or at least less Orthodox) than that of Eastern Europe, and did not wear clothing (such as a yarmulke) that would particularly distinguish their appearance from the non-Jewish population.
		The modern form of anti-Semitism is identified in the 1911 edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica as a conspiracy theory serving the self-understanding of the European aristocracy, whose social power waned with the rise of bourgeois society.
		The Jews of Europe, then recently emancipated, were relatively literate, entrepreneurial and unentangled in aristocratic patronage systems, and were therefore disproportionately represented in the ascendant bourgeois class.

		Panikos Panayi deals with the classic dispersed minorities, the Jews and the Gypsies, as well as the Muslims of the Balkans and the massive diaspora of Germans in eastern Europe from the middle ages to 1945.
		Almost all countries have disadvantaged ethnic and linguistic minorities: whether minorities without their own states, such as the Bretons, Scots, Vlachs and Kurds or those, such as the Russians in Estonia or the Greeks in Turkey, who form linguistic and ethnic groups different to the native majorities.
		The existence of this pressure, as well as that of already sizeable non-European minority communities in all European countries, is an inevitable determinant of Europe's history in the twenty-first century.
