Laure Humbert explores how humanitarian aid in occupied Germany was
influenced by French politics of national recovery and Cold War
rivalries. She examines the everyday encounters between French
officials, members of new international organizations, relief
workers, defeated Germans and Displaced Persons, who remained in
the territory of the French zone prior to their repatriation or
emigration. By rendering relief workers and Displaced Persons
visible, she sheds lights on their role in shaping relief practices
and addresses the neglected issue of the gendering of
rehabilitation. In doing so, Humbert highlights different cultures
of rehabilitation, in part rooted in pre-war ideas about
'overcoming' poverty and war-induced injuries and, crucially, she
unearths the active and bottom-up nature of the restoration of
France's prestige. Not only were relief workers concerned about the
image of France circulating in DP camps, but they also drew DP
artists into the orbit of French cultural diplomacy in Germany.
