displacement during World War II

Displacement during World War II refers to the forced movement of millions of people due to conflict, persecution, and destruction. As borders changed and nations were invaded, many individuals and families lost their homes and had to flee their towns or countries. This included refugees escaping war zones, ethnic minorities facing persecution, and civilians affected by combat or occupation. Displacement caused widespread hardship, leading to temporary and sometimes long-term displacement camps, creating significant humanitarian crises. It profoundly reshaped populations, communities, and national borders, illustrating the scale of human suffering and upheaval caused by the war.
