Talk Abstract
At the end of the war, thousands of unaccompanied children required assistance while many more were missing. This lecture delivered by Professor Dan Stone (University of London) examines how the International Tracing Service helped children reunite with their families. These stories of tracing open up wider questions about the Cold War, humanitarianism, and the significance of the family and the state in the building of the postwar order.
