Tonight Wednesday, November 20, at 7pm WCGS welcomes Dr. Lynne Taylor as she discusses her latest book In the Children's Best Interests: Unaccompanied Refugee Children in German, 1945-1952.

After the dust settled at the end of WWII, 700,000 displaced persons remained in the American occupation zone in Germany. Among them were 40,000 unaccompanied children - children orphaned or separated from their families by the war. Without legal guardians, these children had no one to protect or advocate for them. For the agencies responsible for their care, they were a complex problem which took years to sort out. Their story still resonates today.

When: Wednesday, November 20, 2019 at 7:00pm
Where: Knox Presbyterian Church (50 Erb St W, Waterloo, ON N2L 1T1)
