Entry to Another DP Camp


Würzburg, Germany, June 1946. Gate of the Northern Casern DP Camp in Würzburg. Many Lithuanian DPs, including my Mom's best friend Donna and Mr. Irene's paternal Uncle, Ignas, lived at this camp between 1945 and 1949.

A photo of the entrance to the Seligenstadt DP camp, where my Mom and her father, Jake, stayed, appears here.

Thanks to my friend Kris for making this photo available to us.

Thanks for sharing these photos and your family's personal history. I teach outside Munich and am particularly interested in how such sites remain and are used today.
