Summary/Abstract: Germany, which entered the Second World War under Nazi rule, defeated the war with great destruction, began to recover after a bit of the first shock. The extraordinary success of the German economy in record time was so amazing that it was called “economic miracle”. Germany solved its labor force problem, which was seen as the biggest obstacle in the development of its economic miracle, by hiring guest workers from other countries. Turkey, as a country that sent the most workers to Germany, played during this period a significant role in the recent history of Germany and continues to play. Turkish-German literature, which was born as a result of language, cultural and social problems experienced by the first outgoing workers, has undergone many changes both formally and thematically over time. Yüksel Pazarkaya is one of the first names that comes to mind when Turkish-German literature comes into question. In this study, the short story of Yüksel Pazarkaya named Yeşiyor was analyzed by semiotic analysis. The resulting data have interpreted and it was seen that the messages given in the short story are still valid today.
