Remigranten in Der Sbz / Ddr Und in Ungarn Nach 1945: Ein Vergleich Kornelia Papp German edition

The return of emigrants to their homelands after 1945 was an important event both in Hungary and Germany. The Communist Party assumed a major role in both Hungary and in East Germany immediately after the war, even though the political and cultural conditions were very different in the two countries. In post-war East Germany, cultural life had to be rebuilt from scratch, whereas in Hungary it was more of a transformation of existing institutions. Even if the transition period was longer in Hungary, by 1950 more or less similar political and cultural situations modeled after those from the Soviet Union had been established. This volume compares the relationship of the two countries to the modern literary tradition, the cultural institutions, and the debates among writers after 1945. The author also introduces two groups who re-emigrated from the Soviet Union by presenting the fates of a few selected intellectuals. German text.
