Echoes of Tattered Tongues: Memory Unfolded: Some Background on Slave Laborers and Displaced Persons (DPs)

Some Background on Slave Laborers and Displaced Persons (DPs). Verdi was great. Wagner, not so hot. The United Nations was still trying to straighten this mess of DPs up six years after the war when my parents and my sister Donna and I were allowed to leave in 1951. Thanks again, John.

Echoes of Tattered Tongues: Memory Unfolded. My Parents' Experiences as Polish Slave Laborers in Nazi Germany and Displaced Persons after the War. Thursday, July 9, 2015. 5 Poems 5 Days - Day 2. I've been writing poems for about 37 years now. I started when I was in grad school working on my Ph.D. It was a hot, humid August afternoon, and I was sitting at a desk thinking about Faulkner, trying to make sense of a line of imagery that seemed to thread through all of his novels.
