Haunted by memories of the chaos and loss of life at war's end a generation earlier, they were determined to get it right this time. But what faced aid workers in 1945 was not what they had planned for--Jewish survivors of the concentration camps and a mass of \"displaced persons\" from Eastern Europe--Poles, Ukrainians, Latvians, Yugoslavs--who did not want to go home. It would take five years to find them new countries--in Israel, the United States, Canada and Australia. Ben Shephard has drawn on a mass of materials, including newly discovered diaries and journals, to bring out the human reality of this story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBen Shephard\u003c\/b\u003e was born in 1948, studied history at Oxford University, and is the author of the critically acclaimed \u003ci\u003eA War of Nerves\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAfter Daybreak\u003c\/i\u003e.
