Description

Product Description Concepts of migration and displacement are all too often separated from ideas of international humanitarianism and occupations; and yet, between 1954 and 1951, victims of war became the joint responsibility of humanitarian workers and military officials in occupied Germany. In this innovative study, Samantha K. Knapton focuses on the lives of Polish displaced persons (DPs) – one of the largest groups in occupied Germany – to shine a spotlight on this interaction for the first time. From the everyday experience of clothing, feeding and sheltering to governmental policies and military actions, Occupiers, Humanitarian Workers and the Polish Displaced Persons in British-Occupied Germany investigates the impact of occupation on post-war refugees and explores how the birth of state-driven international humanitarianism played a vital role in both the identity of the Polish people and the reconstruction of Germany. To do so, Knapton fuses together archival material and personal collections such as memoirs, letters and diaries to present an account which considers both the macro and micro issues of displacement, occupation and humanitarianism. The result is a sophisticated analysis of Anglo-Polish-German relations in post-war Europe which will be of immense value to all scholars of modern Europe, Polish history, and displacement studies more generally. About the Author Samantha K. Knapton is Lecturer in Modern European History at University of East Anglia, UK. She is the co-editor, along with Katherine Rossy, of Relief and Rehabilitation for a Postwar World?: Humanitarian Intervention and the UNRRA (Bloomsbury Academic, 2021).
