In the anarchy and devastation of the immediate post-World War II
period in Germany millions of non-German refugees poured out of
German factories and off German farms, and out of the concentration
camp system. They needed food, shelter, medical care. Caring for
these refugees was the daunting task of the United Nations Relief
and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA). Hundreds of quickly
recruited UNRRA workers streamed into Germany in the months after
the war ended, driven to help the millions in need, fired by zeal
to rebuild the continent and the world. Susan Pettiss was one of
the first American women to enter Munich, scant days after the city
fell. Her story is the story of UNRRA and the displaced persons she
worked with for three years.
