Plot

"The articles in this volume offer new perspectives on the experiences of Holocaust survivors returning to their countries of origin after World War II. These contributions are essential to our understanding of the manner in which returning Jews were received by governments, aid organizations, and societies in general. They show that surviving Jews returning from the camps or emerging from hiding were met with distrust. After the war the survivors were once again faced with the "Jewish problem", for they continued to be seen as aliens, and it was not long before a resurgence of antisemitism became evident." --Book Jacket.
