FORGOTTEN ALLIES

on BBC Home Service Basic

View in Radio Times

by Sue Ryder
When the Allied armies invaded Germany there were about forty to fifty concentration camps. Their total population probably ran into millions, many of whom did not long survive their liberation. Some returned to their homes; some who had lost their homes emigrated; a few who have nowhere to go are still waiting, living on in ever-dwindling hope in a variety of camps and settlements scattered throughout Western Germany. They are just a small section of the vast intractable problem of the Displaced Person.
In this programme Sue Ryder, who has worked with these people for many years, presents some of their stories, recorded at camps in Germany.
