The lecture addresses the role of law for survivors of genocide and mass atrocities living in refugee camps. The Jewish displaced persons (DPs) established a bottom-up fascinating legal and judiciary system, comprised of four different types of courts that encompassed every aspect of their lives as individuals and a community.
