About the Exhibition

he General Plan for the East (GPO) embodied the Nazi vision for a radical reorganization – racial, spatial, demographic, settlement patterns – of Eastern Europe. The reorganization would see the expulsion (“resettlement”) to the east of “culturally and racially inferior” populations, the remaking of the east European landscape through the construction of prototypical Germanized villages, and the creation of an effective agrarian society, with decentralized industry and settlement structures. Presented to Heinrich Himmler in July of 1941, the GPO was arguably the most far-reaching and violent experiment in the use of the tools of scientific planning to re-shape society.

Organized and sponsored by the German Research Association (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft), this exhibition will be shown outside of Germany for the first time at the University of Toronto. The show was originally mounted in numerous cities in Germany in 2007/2008.
