<div><span style="font-size: 16px;">In this talk, Prof. Warley considers her mother’s experiences as a child refugee in 1945. She was just one of millions of German nationals who were forced from their homes in various parts of Eastern Europe during the final
months of WWII when Hitler and Stalin moved the borders. She discusses how her mother’s story—and those like it—are passed on to their children and become part of the next generation’s subjectivities. </span></div>
