From Despair to Cargoes of Hope: WWII’s Displaced Persons
Wed, May 21 2025: 0:00 UTC
Many immigrants entered the US under the Displaced Persons Act.

Is your ancestor named in the record sets created? The presentation will discuss the History of the Act and the records created as a result of the Act.
