Explorations of individual stories, contextualised and informed by an awareness of how national and international policies, as well as age, gender, ethnicity and nationality, affected the fate of ordinary people. Applying multi-disciplinary techniques, they show how categories that seems fixed now were in a state of flux in the post-war world.

This collection of original essays on the aftermath of the Second World War, edited by four of Europe's leading scholars and practitioners, presents the best, broadest and newest research in an international enterprise to recover a submerged past that, while half-forgotten, shaped the lives of millions of people.

This new work is characterised by sensitive explorations of individual stories, rigorously contextualised and informed by an acute awareness of how national and international policies, as well as age, gender, ethnicity and nationality, affected the fate of ordinary people. Applying multi-disciplinary insights and techniques, the essays in this volume show how almost every category that seems fixed and familiar now was actually in a state of flux in the turbulent post-war world.

This innovative and often moving body of work, originating in a dozen countries, draws on the results of several major European-funded research projects. Crucially, the essays consider experiences from both Eastern and Western Europe.
