In aftermath of World War II, two migration streams entered Belgium: former allied soldiers from Poland and former Ostarbeiterinnen from Soviet Union. This book focuses on these people's attempts to give meaning to their war experiences in post-war life, and delineates processes they used to understand and articulate what they had been through.
