| Summary: | This edited collection consists of papers that were presented at an international conference held in May 2001 at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem. As its title indicates, the book undertakes to explore the reception, after the war, of Jews returning to their home countries. Some of the essays expand on this task to include deported and displaced Jews seeking to settle in Western Europe. The naïve reader hopes to learn that the special suffering of deported European Jews was recognized, if not by governments distracted by postwar politics, then at least by former neighbors, colleagues, or schoolmates. |
