Best Answer

The civilian populations of European countries were subjected to all of the terror and hardships of war. They also had to adapt to wartime economies with new jobs, civil defense, and food rationing.

The years preceding, during, and after the war saw the greatest flight of refugees in recorded history.

Jews in particular fled the Nazi regime even before the genocide began. Millions of civilians were forced into slave labor and millions more died from military attacks, disease, and famine.

After the war, millions of Holocaust survivors tried to find new homes, many emigrating to Palestine. The slave laborers who were freed from Axis labor camps often could not return home. In the USSR, many cities, towns, and villages were destroyed by German armies.
