Post-War Europe: Refugees, Exile and Resettlement, 1945-1950

This collection of materials from the holdings of the Wiener Library, London and The National Archives in the UK covers the international politics leading the administration, care, repatriation and emigration of the Displaced Persons (DPs) as well as the plight of the survivors, both Jews and non-Jews, of the Holocaust and World War II, and their reintroduction to life and community. A large percentage of the DPs were refugees from Eastern European countries fleeing Soviet rule who were not able to return to their homelands until after the fall of the Berlin wall.
