Even during the emergency period there must be some  
centrifugal movement. Not the least cruelty of Nazi persecution is the
break-up of families that it has caused. Children are separated from
their parents, husbands from their wives, mothers from their children.
Before the war the deliberate policy of the Nazis was to force out the
men from Germany so that they could prepare a home in some other
country for their wives and children. The first desire of wives and
children in German or German-occupied territory will be to join their
husbands or parents, and where the husband or the father has made a
permanent home for himself elsewhere and is able to support his family,
it is right, alike from  
the economic and humanitarian points of view, that reunion  
"should be brought about as soon as practicable. There will

 Whatever measures, however, may be taken to mitigate the problem and
to reduce it to manageable proportions,  
there will be large numbers of stateless persons or of  
nationals unwilling or unable to return to their own countries,  
but who have failed to find a permanent home and livelihood  
elsehwere. The groups to which they belong will be,the long-  
term refugee groups. The ultimate goal of the International
