With the consequences of the Russian-Ukrainian war still unfolding, Chris Clark talks with Andreas Kossert about how Germany and other European states are handling the current Ukrainian refugee crisis. How does today’s emergency fit into a history of forced displacement that is as old as humanity itself? A conversation about danger, survival, displacement, arrival, memory and the meaning of home.

Dr Andreas Kossert worked at the German Historical Institute in Warsaw and has lived in Berlin as a historian and author since 2010. His books include Masuria (2001) and East Prussia (2005). He recently published the bestseller Kalte Heimat. The history of the German expellees after 1945 (2008), East Prussia. Story of a Historical Landscape (2014) and Escape - A Human Story (2020).
