Abstract

World War II caused a significant problem of missing persons. It is estimated that it resulted in between 8 and 10 million missing in Europe alone. This article examines three categories of missing – civilians, children, and Jews – and assesses the phenomenon’s short-term effects. Facing the need to deal with the problem, the Allied armies and the humanitarian organizations came to the realization that it must be dealt with as an issue with political implications. It is suggested that missing persons should be included as a third category in the results of the war, in addition to the living and the dead.
