Humanitarian Aid and Postwar Integration

This chapter examines the United States' unconventional postwar strategy, emphasizing humanitarian aid provided to former adversaries instead of punitive measures. It highlights the Displaced Persons Act of 1948 and contrasts the experiences of Holocaust survivors with the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. Through personal accounts and historical context, the discussion addresses the complexities of reintegration, identity, and the broader geopolitical landscape following the war.
