In the aftermath of World War II, the geopolitical landscape of Central Europe underwent significant changes. One such event was the expulsion of Germans from Czechoslovakia, a historical process that continues to resonate today.
The 14th episode of the Czechostacja podcast, created by Jakub Medek, a Czech-Polish journalist, entitled “Czystka etniczna po czesku. Wypędzenie Niemców Sudeckich” provides an in-depth look at this event. A guest in the episode was Karolina Ćwiek-Rogalska. Together, they delve into the circumstances leading to the expulsion, the experiences of those affected, and the lasting impact on the region of the Czech Borderlands.
It was a great opportunity to bring these events closer for the Polish listeners. You can listen to the podcast, in Polish, here.
