Abstract
In recent years, historical scholarship has paid due attention to the lives of Holocaust survivors and the rebuilding of Jewish communities in postwar Europe, and a great number of articles, edited volumes, and monographs has been published. While Jewish Displaced Persons - Jews who could not or did not want to return to their countries of birth, citizenship, or prewar residence but waited to leave Europe forever - have become a focal point, Jews who did return to their countries of origin have received comparatively little attention.
