Flotsam

After the First World War there floated a sea of stateless people who drifted from border to border, flotsam of the war, each reaching out to find somewhere to call their own; displaced by everyone as they tried to adopt a homeland, a place they could call their own. Etched on each face was the agony they felt being turned away everywhere they went. This flotsam of war. 10 November 2010 Author’s Note: It is hard to believe that millions of people were displaced and wandered the borders of Europe for years after the First World War. However, it is true and history does record it. DVH November 2010
