Hello,
Can any of you suggest some readings which deal with the educational and professional training of Vietnamese in non-Vietnamese countries during the Cold War.
Thanks, Anne

Hi Anne,
There is a 2005 VSG discussion on that topic: https://www.lib.washington.edu/southeastasia/vsg/elist_2005/Vietnamese%20workers%20in%20Eastern%20Europe%20and%20Asia.htm
In that context, I provided some data on the former GDR.
There is plenty more material online regard the Vietnamese who were based in the GDR and then stayed on after unification.
Some additional literature I found by googling.
Michael Feige, "Vietnamesische Studenten und Arbeiter in der DDR und ihre Beobachtung durch das Ministerium für Staatssicherheit" (n.d., n.p.)
http://www.geogr.uni-goettingen.de/kus/personen/vn/vn-ref22.htm --> some data;
http://www.bpb.de/popup/popup_fussnote.html?guid=R9SNLF --> footnotes with plenty of German-language titles
http://www.bpb.de/popup/popup_fussnote.html?guid=R9SNLF --> article by Karin Weiss --> several waves: refugees, then for education, then in the 1980s an explosion of Vietnamese guest workers in the GDR.
I suspect there is plenty more on other non-Vietnamese countries during the Cold War as well.
Best of luck!
