Die zwei Gesichter der Zerstörung

»The Two Faces of Destruction. Rafael Lemkins UN-Genocide-Convention and the Expulsion of the Germans«: For the father of the UN Genocide Convention of 1948, Raphael Lemkin, the expulsion of Germans from parts of Eastern Europe could also be considered a genocidal »destruction of national groups as such«. When the German Bundestag joined the UN Convention in 1954, it adopted Lemkin's perspective. With the growing importance of the Holocaust in the culture of remembrance, genocide was temporarily equated with »extermination« and the annihilation of Jews. However, the term has now expanded again in the context of addressing the issue of colonialism.
