Abstract
The German minority of the socialist Yugoslavia suffered the most from the resentments following WWII. Based on collective guilt principle, its members were made responsible for crimes of Nazi occupation and deprived of their rights.
Organized expulsions, forced labor, other repressive policies, including the following emigration that ensued, resulted in such a substantial diminishment of their numbers that there were no official accounts of their presence in socialist Yugoslavia after the 1960s.
