Description
Excerpt from Rising Above the Ruins in France: An Account of the Progress Made Since the Armistice in the Devastated Regions in Reestablishing Industrial Activities and the Normal Life of the People
Our work for The Children of the Frontier brought us in close contact with the people who were facing the refugee problem in all of its complexi ties of suffering and horror. After the Armistice it was possible to visit the families from whom the children in our charge came and to determine when they could be safely returned to their homes. Most of the families belonged to the devastated districts Of the Departments of the Marne, the Somme, the Aisne, the Nord and Pas de Calais. We visited hundreds of families of refugees and were thus given an opportunity for intimate study of conditions in many ruined villages.
