Architecture Day: Most - Displacement and Resettlement

Screening of the short film "Living Traces" about the displacement and resettlement of abandoned border regions, followed by a discussion with historian Jiří Šlajsna. The end of World War II brought fundamental changes to Europe, including border adjustments and the expulsion of German-speaking populations from Czechoslovakia.

How did the organized displacement and resettlement of abandoned border regions proceed from January 1946 onwards? Who resettled the region in northern Bohemia? And how are the social, demographic, and economic impacts of this migration of millions of people still visible in our society and landscape today, eighty years later? The film and subsequent debate seek answers in the northern Bohemian border region.

The discussion guest is historian Jiří Šlajsna. The event is co-organized by Memory of the Nation Northern Bohemia, SM Most, Ústecký Region, and the Czech-German Future Fund.
