“Physical rehabilitation without vocational rehabilitation is unfinished business”: The IRO’s Rehabilitation Programme for Displaced Persons with Disabilities, 1948‑1952

Johannes Glack

Abstrak

By examining the IRO’s rehabilitation program for DPs with disabilities, this article addresses the question of how rehabilitation was organised and understood by international institutions after the Second World War. The exclusion of DPs with disabilities from resettlement led to the creation of “hard core” DPs, for whom the International Refugee Organization (IRO) established a system of rehabilitation centers. Following a year of planning in 1948, 20 centers were operational between 1949 and 1950 in West Germany, Austria, Italy and Switzerland to facilitate the rehabilitation of DPs with disabilities, thereby enabling their successful resettlement.
