Summary:
May, 1945. After German forces surrendered to the Allied powers, the aftershocks of this global military conflict did not cease with the signing of truces and peace treaties. Millions of lost and homeless POWs, slave laborers, political prisoners, and concentration camp survivors overwhelmed Germany, a country in complete disarray. British and American soldiers gathered the malnourished and desperate foreigners, and attempted to repatriate them to Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine, and the USSR. Over a million displaced persons either refused to go home or, in the case of many, had no home to which to return. Nasaw tells the hidden story of postwar displacement, the 1948 US Displaced Persons Bill, and the controversial 1947 UN resolution for the partition of Palestine and Israel's declaration of independence. -- adapted from jacket
