- Summary:
- Vividly recreating his parents' harrowing experiences in the light of his own childhood among refugees in America, "Displaced Persons" speaks directly to a little-known slice of Holocaust history, the plight of 140,000 refugees who came to the United States between 1947 and 1953. Showing readers this world through the eyes of a bright young boy, the book captures poignant shadings, telling minutiae, and stubborn intractability of a displaced life.
