Description

In the anarchy and devastation in Germany of the immediate post World War II period, millions of non-German refugees poured out of German factories and off German farms and out of concentration camp system. They needed food, shelter, and medical care. Caring for these refugees was the daunting task of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA). Hundreds of quickly recruited UNRRA workers streamed into Germany in the months after the shooting stopped, driven to help the millions in need, and fired by zeal to rebuild the continent and the world. Susan Pettiss was one of the first American women to enter Munich, scant days after the city fell. Hers is the story of UNRRA and the displaced persons she worked with for three years.

Author Biography:

Dr. Susan Pettiss is now retired after a career of over 50 years as a social worker, beginning in the Roosevelt depression years in the Deep South (Alabama). The two and a half years in Germany with UNRRA were the first in all the years that followed working in the international field in positions with the United Nations, the U.S. Government and non-government agencies. Dr. Lynne Taylor is an associate Professor at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada. She has published a book and numerous articles on the occupation experience in France during World War II, as well as edited the memoirs of a Polish Catholic reserve officer's experience in the concentration camp, Sachsenhausen, and is currently engaged in a major project on the displaced persons' crisis in Germany in the years immediately following World War II.
