This allows to examine the role played by the past in creating the future and suggest further research which will focus on the continuity in lives of the DPs, seeing their postwar lives as part of their longer life stories, rather than time completely detached from their prewar past. It argues for the need for further work on the relationship of Polish Jewish DPs with Poland, both at the institutional and private level, and thus the issue of the role of migrants for the countries from which they departed.</p></div></div></div></div> ER -
