The enduring images of VE Day are of the unrestrained, joyful celebrations that swept European and American cities. But as this detailed and absorbing study illustrates, massive human suffering and even violence was far from over. Left in the wake of the cataclysm were millions of so-called DPs (displaced persons), many of whom were Jewish survivors of the concentration camps, although the massive scale of the Holocaust was not yet evident. But the miserable also encompassed numerous other nationalities tossed about by the vagaries of war. Tasked with the responsibility for dealing with their misery was the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA).
