Hi all!
Just looking for more online resources (archives, etc) and advice for displaced Germans from border areas during WW II. The area and family members I am researching came from what is now South West Poland.
I have used the Arolsen Archives and was successful finding information and documents from other displaced family members.
Is there another digital archive/ source that one can recommend for this particular scenario!
TIA!
Hello all,
I'm living in grey Lynn and we were thinking about putting together packages for those living on the streets during covid (fruits and vegetables, sanitary products, maybe some homemade baked stuff like meat pies or cookies, bottled water). Does anyone know the rules about handing these things out in level 4? All packaged in a bag and no real contact, just a drop off.
Also wondering if handing off to the city mission would be better?
So I surveyed a bunch of folks and apparently the consensus is that I don't look Jewish, but rather that I looked like a displaced person. In fact, at the bar earlier a Lebanese family asked if I was Lebanese because I looked like a younger version of their recently deceased brother. I really wish folks would've told me this sooner in my life so I could've avoided the morbid thoughts of thinking my family was annihilated in the Holocaust. Because the truth is, they weren't, those were just folks who were a part of the family we married into.

Also, for what it's worth, I tried pushing myself to sign up for dating apps yet again, but I just cannot get beyond how perfect me and Judy were for one another. It is such a fucking tragedy that nobody knew me well enough to see it that way or to stop themselves from making baseless accusations. So I just keep reading these profiles and think to myself, "It's going to take years before I find another one as perfect as her... if I ever find another one." I am so fucking heartbroken by this situation it's unreal.
The biggest reason why I didn't just reach out to her online sooner is that she blocked me and I wanted to respect that, and besides that, we hadn't ever actually met in person which I wanted to do. So I just scoured the earth, visiting places I'd seen her before in the hope I'd see her again, but she never actually ever showed up. I've got a sinking feeling it's going to be a very, very long time before I end up being comfortable dating again after this one.
Displaced mothers with children in Ukraine:poverty, malnutrition, disease
Conflict also seriously affects the health of children: most children die during conflict not directly from weapons, but from curable diseases that spread much faster in the context of a collapsed health care system and medical infrastructure. Conflicts and relocations harm both the psyche of mothers and children.

- Pretty much all the shipping used is American.
- Displaced persons outside Japan are largely Japanese - however, significant groups of Ryukyuans, Formosans, Chinese, and especially Koreans are displaced.
- "~" used when sources lack concrete numbers for the first half of 1946 and are estimations based on other data points.
- Almost all figures involve at least some estimation.
- Manchurian figures possibly include Korean forced laborers. However, some sources claim their number is as high as 1.5 Million, which would imply that their number is counted separately from the Japanese in the area.

Hello everyone, hope you are having a nice day.
I am an Intern Pharmacist in Nigeria and a couple of us, a multidisciplinary team of physicians, pharmacists, med lab scientists, nurses, and other volunteers are planning a medical outreach to an internally displaced persons' camp in Nigeria.
I'm sure most people caught up in world politics might be aware of the terrorist group Boko Haram and the havoc they have caused all over the country, most especially in the North Eastern part which has states like Yobe, Adamawa, Borno being the most affected.
This has unfortunately led to a lot of their population being forced to move from their home states to be given santuary in other safer states, one of which is the country's capital, Abuja.
During a visit to one of the camps, particularly in Durumi, Garki-Abuja, we were shocked to find the living conditions of the camp.
The camp which has 215 households and housing a total of 2830 IDPs, is really lacking in provision of medical care, sanitary wears for the ladies, food, clothing, etc.
A couple of the health interns, particularly in the National Hospital, Abuja, decided to organize an outreach in which we could offer help to the camp particularly to focus on providing Medical Checkups, offering Counselling and Pharmaceutical Care to the individuals of the camp.
As regards to female hygiene we aim to offer sanitary wears to the ladies as well as hold talks with the female populace to create more awareness on proper female hygiene.
The proposed date of the outreach is on the 5th of September 2021 and this is a video reel showing not only a brief documentary into the camp, but highlights a couple of our members counting down to the event.
We have tried to speak to some government authorities in order to get any sort of assistance/funding but that has been unsuccessful so far. Hence, we have to try and source for the funding ourselves while we hope for the best.
Hence i am here just taking a swing and hoping we get a couple of inspired individuals who can help and donate to our cause.
We are in talks with a couple of Pharmacies and Pharmaceutical companies on trying to procure drugs so we can at least alleviate some of their problems but it has not been an easy task so far.
Kindly consider chipping in a donation of service or funds. Your help will go a long way in ensuring the success of the outreach.
