We are given the picture that on the roads of Europe moved long lines of people with their packs. their wagons. their pushcarts. and their babies in arms. makirg their hopeful pilgrimage to their western homelands after desperate years of war. Over a million people in eastern Europe. caugnt in the cruel currents and countercurrents of war. hate. oppression. and genocide. survived as homeless and hopeless people. The United Nations. responding to the conscience of mankind. made these people the concern of the International Refugee Organization. Some 159.700 displaced persons have been resettled. Today there are about 417.800 displaced persons in Italy and the western parts of Austria and Germany.
