polishdiaspora.net/The Polish Diaspora, 1939-50 This is the website for an oral history project where Polish Displaced Persons and ex-Servicemen and Women from all over the world tell their stories. Members and students of the Polish Diaspora are invited to become involved by sharing their experiences and documents. Ineed, it is very gratifying to receive encouragement from those interested in Polish history, regardless of where they live, be it the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada or Australia. This move towards global collaboration will be enhanced by the digitization of the data, resulting in global access to the records. This study of the Polish emigre experience will transcend disciplinary, methodological and national boundaries, and create a transnational picture of the Polish Diaspora. We live in yet another era when vast numbers of people are forced to call refugee camps 'home'. It is important that the experiences of these earlier refugees be preserved and shared with future generations so they work hard to promote world peace. polishdiaspora.net/

Kai, This would be me. I was born in Wildflecken, Germany in one of those DP camps. I don't remember anything about them as I was only 3 when we came to the states. My mom does not like answering questions about it.
