Reviews'Emphasizing the multipolar and transnational character of the voices that participated in defining what it meant to be German Romanian, this is an excellent rethinking of the modes of belonging and re-imagining that made up that history from the age of the Habsburg Monarchy through the present.'

SynopsisMigrating Memories charts the transnational story of German speakers from Romania during a turbulent century in modern European history. From uneasy supporters of their home country, to enthusiastic Nazis, tepid Communists, and conciliatory Europeans, Romanian Germans have been at the centre of major European events since 1918., Romanian Germans, mainly from the Banat and Transylvania, have occupied a place at the very heart of major events in Europe in the twentieth century yet their history is largely unknown. This east-central European minority negotiated their standing in a difficult new European order after 1918, changing from uneasy supporters of Romania, to zealous Nazis, tepid Communists, and conciliatory Europeans. Migrating Memories is the first comprehensive study in English of Romanian Germans and follows their stories as they move across borders and between regimes, revealing a very European experience of migration, minorities, and memories in modern Europe. After 1945, Romanian Germans struggled to make sense of their lives during the Cold War at a time when the community began to fracture and fragment. The Revolutions of 1989 seemed to mark the end of the German community in Romania, but instead Romanian Germans repositioned themselves as transnational European bridge-builders, staking out new claims in a fast-changing world.
