After WWII was over there were millions of children alone throughout Europe. Children often survived without their parents, and those who were alone were taken under the wings of allied European nations and returned in huge numbers to their original countries, usually via restored train tracks. Survivors were mostly young women, elderly, and children. Many survived because they had been shipped out to rural areas with other children.
In some cases they were found by their parents after the war, but many were orphans.
Men died in the war or they survived in POW camps. Emotional reunions occurred all over.
