Fifteen years after the end of World War II, many people were still living in displaced person camps throughout Europe. Through fundraising and public awareness efforts, the initiative aimed to shed light on the issue of resettlement. Over 70 postal authorities simultaneously produced stamps and issued <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/First_day_of_issue\">first-day covers<\/a> to support these efforts. Some designs featured an uprooted oak tree&#8211;the emblem of World Refugee Year. \u00a0Many countries used the stamp to demonstrate their national position on the issue of refugees.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/stamps\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2016\/01\/StampEx045_2md.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-403 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/stamps\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2016\/01\/StampEx045_2md-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"StampEx045_2md\" width=\"605\" height=\"341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/stamps\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2016\/01\/StampEx045_2md-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/stamps\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2016\/01\/StampEx045_2md-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/stamps\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2016\/01\/StampEx045_2md-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/stamps\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2016\/01\/StampEx045_2md-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/stamps\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2016\/01\/StampEx045_2md-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/stamps\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2016\/01\/StampEx045_2md-200x113.jpg 200w, https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/stamps\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2016\/01\/StampEx045_2md-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/stamps\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2016\/01\/StampEx045_2md-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/stamps\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2016\/01\/StampEx045_2md-900x507.jpg 900w, https:\/\/library.brown.edu\/create\/stamps\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2016\/01\/StampEx045_2md.jpg 1982w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 605px) 100vw, 605px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WORLD REFUGEE YEAR\u20141959-1960 United States First-Day Cover Arthur I.
