An Exhibition Moment Between Remembrance, Responsibility, and Historical Accuracy
With the special exhibition Human and Human …? The Regulated Expulsion of the Sudeten Germans, the Sudeten German Museum opens a space for historical reflection, precise classification, and cultural memory. The presentation recalls the expulsion of more than two million Sudeten Germans after World War II and critically discusses the formula of the so-called human transfer.

A Reading of History Through Exhibits, Documents, and Contexts
The exhibition does not work with pathos, but with materiality: with transport lists, historical evidence, and a museum narrative that focuses on plans, the course of events, and the arrival of the displaced. Particularly noteworthy is the first-time presentation of digitized transport lists from the Central Military Archive in Prague. This gives the exhibition a documentary depth that is significant for memory cultural exhibitions.
