Episode Synopsis

The post-war expulsion of Sudeten Germans from the Czech borderlands changed the face of the region. Homes and property were confiscated, and hundreds of thousands of German graves were forcibly abandoned. Some municipalities are struggling to preserve the legacy, but most have given up on the task. Now, thanks to a multi-million crown subsidy from the Ministry of Regional Development, that could change.
