The period of the 'long' Second World War (1936-1948) was marked by mass movements of diverse populations. This book looks at: the Spanish Republicans fleeing Franco's Spain in 1939, the French civilians trying to escape the Nazi invasion in 1940, and the millions of people displaced or expelled by the forces of Hitler's Third Reich. The aim of this book is to reconsider the complex journeys undertaken by European refugees and the relationships between refugees and relief workers... The research...is impressive.
