When the war ended,
many of those who survived the war found themselves in camps for
"displaced persons," in such unfamiliar places, traumatized by wartime
events, and facing an uncertain
future. ...
Allied military and civilian authorities
who were in charge of these "DP" camps faced considerable
challenges in their attempts to solve the problem of displaced persons.
