Occupiers, Humanitarian Workers, and Polish Displaced Persons in - British Occupied German

Zusatztext Knapton has produced a convincing and well-researched analysis of the difficulties faced by international organizations and the British Military Government in attempting to ameliorate the living conditions of DPs and the reasons behind their inability to resolve the situation. In doing so, she has exposed the sheer inefficacy as well as the extent of discriminatory attitudes that were prevalent within UNRRA and the Military Government, while bringing to the fore the significant contribution of some individual humanitarian workers in providing care and relief.
