‘I can’t help remembering the words of those American Baptist pastors who visited,’ Eva said. ‘They were trying to get a bill through Congress to admit displaced persons. I heard them speaking to camp residents and they said, “You are not strangers to us. America was founded by the voluntarily displaced. We are a nation of the displaced from all the lands.” It’s such an enormous huge country. Surely they could relax the rules and take many more people.’
