The purpose of this project is to keep track of all of the displaced persons or Holocaust Survivors who were residents of the Eschwege Displaced Persons Camp. This camp was located in Eschwege, Germany.
After 1945, a displaced persons camp to lodge Jewish death camp survivors was set up under the supervision of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration and lasted a few years. Almost all the camp dwellers emigrated to Israel once that state had been founded. The Jews left in Eschwege were in the long run too few in number to be able to form a community.
