These are figures based on reports of the preparatory commission for the International Refugee Organization as of January 1. 1948. I have seen numerous other estimates and they are confusing because it is necessary to distinguish among displaced persons receiving care and maintenance. outofcamp displaced persons eligible for care and maintenance but not receiving it. and other displaced persons who are receiving only legal assistance where they are. - that is. are not part of the resettlement problem. It may be remarked that these figures do not include Volksdeutsche or expellees. since. for reasons which can be treated at another place. they are not considered a part of the resettlement problem.
