Dr Arwyn specialises the history of Germany in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Her current research project is centred on the ethnic cleansing of Germans from Eastern Europe after the Second World War, with particular focus on the history of the province of East Prussia. Her main interests include the oral history and memory of individuals forced to flee or migrate from East Prussia and the way in which these experiences have been portrayed. Other topics also covered are individual memories of the Third Reich and the end of the Second World War. She also has a strong interest in the German concept of Heimat and the ways in which memory and myth making have shaped a particular version of East Prussian history. Using a range of sources including oral history interviews, memoirs, published and documentary material Dr Arwyn is interested in addressing wider questions not only German history but also in memory and migration studies.
