In the 11th episode, Franziska Lamp speaks with the historian G. Daniel Cohen about the role of the management of postwar displacement for the development of Western humanitarianism. The episode focuses on the ideas behind the contested term "Human Rights Revolution," which describes the development of new mechanisms to deal with flight, expulsion, and displacement in the immediate postwar period. Cohen also provides a comprehensive analysis of the reasons why historiography until the 1990s has largely ignored the history of the Displaced Persons (DPs).
