ABSTRACT This essay explores how both German and international educators mobilised history curricula to reshape German collective identity between 1945 and 1950, focusing particular attention on depictions of the deutsche Vertriebene (German expellees) in curricular plans and textbooks. In the mid-1940s, 12–15 million ethnic Germans were forcibly ousted from Poland, the Soviet Union and other Eastern European states. However, while international authorities considered them ‘German’, expellees were typically understood as problematic outsiders by the local residents and officials of their neue Heimat (new homeland). It will be suggested that, rather than helping integrate young expellees into post-war societies, post-war curricular reforms reinforced an identity rooted in loss and collective exclusion. More than 70 years later, ageing expellees still challenge public narratives, describing themselves as perpetual outsiders, at home neither in the Federal Republic of Germany, nor in the places and cultures of their memories.

重新教学/润色 Heimat:德国学校战后课程中的被驱逐者、家庭和归属感

摘要 本文探讨了德国和国际教育工作者如何利用历史课程来重塑 1945 年至 1950 年间的德国集体认同,并特别关注课程计划和教科书中对 deutsche Vertriebene(德国驱逐者)的描述。1940 年代中期,12-1500 万德国人被强行驱逐出波兰、苏联和其他东欧国家。然而,虽然国际当局认为他们是“德国人”,但当地居民和他们 neue Heimat(新家园)的官员通常将被驱逐者理解为有问题的外来者。有人认为,战后课程改革并没有帮助年轻的被驱逐者融入战后社会,而是强化了一种植根于损失和集体排斥的身份认同。70多年后,
