Explore the untold story of over 200,000 Jewish refugees and Holocaust survivors who sought temporary asylum in post-World War II Germany. Occupying forces established Displaced Persons (DP) Camps, becoming a sanctuary for these individuals preparing for new lives in the United States and Israel. Anette Isaacs provides insightful glimpses into the challenges and resilience of Jewish life in immediate post-war Germany.
