Holocaust Library Jewish Childhood in Kraków is
the first book to tell the history of Kraków in the second World
War through the lens of ...Jewish children's experiences. Here,
children assume center stage as historical actors whose
recollections and experiences deserve to be told, analyzed, and
treated seriously. Sliwa scours archives to tell their story,
gleaning evidence from the records of the German authorities,
Polish neighbors, Jewish community and family, and the children
themselves to explore the Holocaust in German-occupied Poland and
in Kraków in particular. A microhistory of a place, a people, and
daily life, this book plumbs the decisions and behaviors of
ordinary people in extraordinary times. Offering a window onto
human relations and ethnic tensions in times of rampant violence,
Jewish Childhood in Kraków is an effort both to understand
the past and to reflect on the position of young people during
humanitarian crises.
In The Sanctuary City, Domenic Vitiello argues that sanctuary means much more than the limited protections offered by city governments or churches sheltering immigrants from deportation. It is a ...wider set of protections and humanitarian support for vulnerable newcomers. Sanctuary cities are the places where immigrants and their allies create safe spaces to rebuild lives and communities, often through the work of social movements and community organizations or civil society. Philadelphia has been an important center of sanctuary and reflects the growing diversity of American cities in recent decades. One result of this diversity is that sanctuary means different things for different immigrant, refugee, and receiving communities. Vitiello explores the migration, settlement, and local and transnational civil society of Central Americans, Southeast Asians, Liberians, Arabs, Mexicans, and their allies in the region across the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Together, their experiences illuminate the diversity of immigrants and refugees in the United States and what is at stake for different people, and for all of us, in our immigration debates.

International immigration and domestic immigration are legally different, but they both result in immigrants joining existing communities. Ironically, the Japanese government has a more positive ...attitude about accepting foreign students into Japanese universities than do the local governments about accepting non-local students into their universities. In a time of important demographic changes in Japan, both at national and local levels, whether immigrants can become full members of existing communities will emerge as an important question related to community identity.
Immigration processes across the globe are inherently complex. This makes it difficult to define when and where immigration starts and ends and how it affects individuals, societies, institutions ...within societies, and the world community as a whole. As the world's largest recipient of immigrants, the United States must grapple with the complex dynamics of worldwide immigration. Copyright American Psychological Association

With the deepening of urbanization and industrialization in China, large amount immigration flocked into the metropolis. As the capital of China, Beijing has become a huge immigration community. Most ...of the immigrants live in temporary buildings in urban-rural fringe areas because of high rents. It is difficult to supervise the quantitative changes of immigrants living in urban-rural fringe areas using traditional method. In order to study the variation of immigration communities, we try to detect and analyze the changes in temporary buildings using remote sensing data, in Daxing district, Beijing. Firstly, the TBI (Temporary Building Index) extraction method is used to extract Temporary buildings from 5 periods Sentinel-2A remote sensing images of Daxing District from 2016 to 2018. According to the extraction results, we found the immigration community is changing rapidly and intensely in three years. Affected by policy, the immigrants gathered close to the urban area, is rapidly moving away and the number of immigrants lived in suburban is increasing significantly.
