Displaced Children 1945 and the Child Tracing Division of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration

This paper focuses on the Child Tracing Division of the UNRRA which existed from January 1946 onwards. It operated as a central clearing point with regards to all information on child survivors and displaced children. This division constituted a novelty in humanitarian aid work as for the first time not only a centralized office but also with regards to children came into existence.
