Katharina Matro’s dissertation and talk focuses on the transformation of the vast estates of Prussia’s nobility into Polish state farms and smaller family farmsteads post-1945 and the defeat of Nazi Germany. Her research forms the argument that the continual assault on both land and property rights during the time determined the fragile postwar economy and society in the region.
