they were given citizenships and voting rights in Poland
Ugh, that’s some ridiculous political manuevering. I’m all for people being in touch with their heritage – I myself have mostly German ancestry, and I enjoy learning about German history and culture – but a country is a material thing, rooted in an historical and current relationship to production in some particular place, and expressed in some kind of national culture. It isn’t just bloodlines/genes/ancestry/whatever you want to call it.
Have you, by any chance, heard of Gabriel Knight 2: The Beast Within? I never tried it myself, but I used to watch a longplay of it to pass the time, and it involves a few moderners exploring premodern German history as part of a murder mystery… it’s just kind of nice to have a tale set in Germany that, for once, isn’t all about anticommies.
