Heinz Nawratil (born 1937 in North Moravia) is a German lawyer, legal author and human rights activist.
After World War II Nawratil settled in Bavaria, West Germany, where he grew up in Miesbach. He studied law, earned a doctorate and worked as a civil law notary.[citation needed] He has written books on legal subjects which have been printed in over a million copies.[citation needed] He is also known for his research on the expulsion of Germans after World War II.
Prof. Gotthold Rhode, a leading expert in Eastern European history, commented on Nawratil`s book "Die deutschen Nachkriegsverluste" (German Post-War Losses): "Nawratil`s small, clearly shaped book makes a contribution - by its objective, never accusing style - to not forgetting these victims." (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, 16th Sept. 1987)
The book mentioned above was acknowledged in "Die Welt" of 7th Oct. 1986: "... that it is deserving to have presented the verifiable numbers concerning the German post-war losses at all."
The "Schwarzbuch der Vertreibung" (Blak Book of Expulsion), too, was almost universally acclaimed: "This book can be expected to become a classic." (Hessischer Rundfunk, 16th July 1983)
"Nawratil`s book helps to remove an information deficit." (Sender Freies Berlin, 07th Dec. 1983)
"Knowing that historic truth is indivisible, Heinz Nawratil relates what happened at the end of Word War II in the East of Europe. Properly, the author calls expulsion and crimes against Germans the last chapter of unconquered past." (Bayerischer Rundfunk, 29th May 1999)
"It is agood thing and necessary, too, Nawratil`s ... high quality synthesis ... is available again." (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, 08th June 1999)
"In his well documented study the author strives to find out the total number of expellees and of the victims of expulsion." (Die Welt, 08th Jan. 1983)
</ref> German historian Martin Broszat (former head of the Institute of Contemporary History in Munich) has described Nawratil's works as "polemics written from a nationalist-rightist point of view" that "exaggerate in absurd way the scale of any crimes that accompanied the expulsion of Germans."[1]
Because of his unobjective criticism, Broscat was rebuked and cautioned by the Bavarian State Government which is the supervisory authority of the Munich Institute. The original letter of the Bavarian State Government is shown on Nawratil`s home page.[2]
In 2007 Nawratil was a member of delegations of the Society for Threatened Peoples visiting Iraqi Kurdistan and Bosnia.[3]
