Czechoslovakia played the role of a transit country in the migrations of European populations in the Second World War. In particular, transports with the repatriated Polish citizens who made up the largest group of the so-called displaced persons were passing through this territory. The change in the geopolitical situation in Central and Eastern Europe naturally had the effect that a great many Polish citizens also fled to the West through Czechoslovakia. Jews also illegally or semi-legally departed from Poland, usually heading for Palestine with the help of Zionist organizations. However, they often remained in camps for displaced persons, usually in the American occupation zone. Only a few of them made it to Palestine, and those who went, did so in secret. The overflowing camps were a significant burden on the American occupation authority, which is why a plan was developed to settle at least some of the refugees in Czechoslovakia. This article analyzes this subject, which had previously only been superficially documented, on the basis of close study of Czech sources as well as documents from the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee.

Międzynarodowa Organizacja do spraw Uchodźców (IRO) działała w latach 1947– 1951 jako wyspecjalizowana agencja ONZ. Praca IRO była kontynuacją akcji humanitarnych organizowanych wcześniej na rzecz przesiedleńców (DP, dipisi) i uchodźców przez UNRRA i IGCR. Celem artykułu jest analiza polityki przesiedleńczej IRO jako wyznacznika nowego podejścia społeczności międzynarodowej do postępowania z przesiedleńcami i uchodźcami na przykładzie osób tych kategorii z Polski, którzy stanowili największą grupę narodową objętą opieką IRO w Europie.

The International Refugee Organisation operated between 1947 and 1951 as a UN specialised agency. The IRO’s work was a continuation of the humanitarian actions previously organised for displaced persons (DPs) and refugees by UNRRA and the IGCR. This paper aims to analyse the resettlement policy of the IRO as indicative of the international community’s new approach to handling DPs and refugees, on the example of DPs and refugees from Poland, who constituted the largest national group under IRO care in Europe.
