Mia worked for decades assisting those fleeing from war, violence and hardship, mainly from Central America and Haiti. Based on extensive interviews with Truskier before she passed away, as well as memorabilia from her own lifetime, including coded letters, newspaper clippings, and old photographs, this book results in a complex and multi-layered oral history. As Mia drew on memories of her life in Europe and World War II, she was situating and constructing those memories while re-reading and discovering these artifacts alongside the author of this book, and ultimately relating the ways that she and her family years later sought to make a difference for other refugees, drawing a connection between two major eras of human displacement: the end of World War II and today. . | 出版日期 | Book 2021 | 关键词 | World War II; Nazi Poland; Polish Jews; Refugee Activism; Refugee Crisis; Polish resistance; The Holocaust | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-84525-4 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-84527-8 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-84525-4Series ISSN 2731-5673 Series E-ISSN 2731-5681 | issn_series | 2731-5673 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
