The purpose of this project is to collect all of the profiles of displaced persons or Holocaust Survivors who were residents of the Goslar Displaced Persons Camp. This camp was located in Goslar, Germany.
History of the camp
After the end of the Second World War in 1945 Goslar found itself in the British Zone of Occupation. The British military administration set up a DP camp to accommodate so-called displaced persons (DP). The camp was looked after by a team (Team 2913) from the UNRRA.
The number of refugees made expansion of the town necessary. The border location of the town inhibited industry, instead the town received border installations and garrisons for the troops of the Bundesgrenzschutz and the Bundeswehr.
