As we mentioned previously in Rewriting History - Playing Victim, Germany is still, after all these years and several devastating wars, obsessed with the idea of "Ethnic Germans".
The League of Expellees (Bund der Vertriebenen, BdV) opened its annual national "Homeland Day" commemorations this year with new demands and strong attacks against several east European neighboring countries. BdV President, Erika Steinbach, demands that the German government finally declare a national day of commemoration for the German WW2 "victims of expulsion" and include BdV functionaries in delegations on trips to foreign countries.
