About this book
After the Second World War, German refugees, exiles, and emigrants set up a number of social gatherings in West Germany. The meeting rooms (Heimatstuben) they created had a commemorative and social function, but were scarcely noticed outside the exile world. Eisler examines their creation, institutionalization, and functions in the context of West Germany’s cultural and exile policies.
- Explores West German policy on displaced persons and integration as exemplified by the homeland social gatherings of German refugees and exiles

Reviews
"Cornelia Eisler legt einen sehr detaillierten, mit 566 Seiten Darstellung allerdings auch stark gedehnten Band mit kritischen Positionen vor, der die zeithistorisch-erinnerungskulturelle Forschung um den spezifischen, bisher nur wenig beachteten Aspekt der Heimatsammlungen, ihrer Funktion und Bedeutung ergänzt und damit Pionierarbeit leistet." Verena v. Wiczlinski in: Jahrbuch für schlesische Kultur und Geschichte‘ 57/58 (2016-2017), 565-568
