In this paper, the authors analyze the economic integration of forced migrants and their offspring in West Germany. The empirical results suggest that even a quarter of a century after displacement, first generation migrants and native West Germans that were comparable before the war perform strikingly differently. Migrants have substantially lower incomes and are less likely to own a house or to be self-employed.
