Nadia, a
Ukrainian, writes"
The camp they called "Dachau" was
ten kilometres from Munich. It was the one where medical experiments were
conducted on human beings. I heard this from people who were from other labour
camps. The horror stories made my skin crawl when I heard them. The word
of these experiments got around so that all of Germany knew about them, including
us. The Gestapo were boasting that from human flesh, they made lamp shades,
gloves, purses. From human hair they made stuffing for pillows. I couldn't
believe that they actually boasted that they were sleeping on pillows made
of human hair. Nothing was wasted there from the human body. Once they took
the skin off of a person, they put ever part of their body to some use for
medical experiments. The bodies were burned and after that, they put the
ashes in soil to use as fertilizer. The remainder of bones were then thrown
into trenches and covered with lime, making the soil very fine and moist.
There were thousands of people who were exterminated at this camp.

Eisenhower in Dachau
It is a matter of history that when Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, General Dwight Eisenhower, found the victims of the death camps, he ordered all possible photographs to be taken, and for the German people from surrounding villages to be ushered through the camps and even made to bury the dead.
He did this because he said in words to this effect: 'Get it all on record now - get the films - get the witnesses - because somewhere down the track of history some ( Axxxxxx) will get up and say that this never happened.
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. " - Edmund Burke, In Memorial
Recently, the University of Kentucky removed
The Holocaust from its school curriculum because it 'offended' the Muslim population
which claims it never occurred.
This is a frightening portent of the fear that is gripping the world and how easily each country is giving into it. It is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in Europe ended.
This is in memory of the 10 million Ukrainians, 10 million Russians, 10 million Christians, 6 million Jews, and 1,900 Catholic priests who were murdered, massacred, raped, burned, starved and humiliated with the German and Russian peoples looking the other way!;
Now, more than ever, with Iran, among others, claiming the Holocaust to be 'a myth,' it is imperative to make sure the world never forgets.

Dear Olga,
I am looking for information on my grandfather. Sandor Varga born in
1889 in Budapest, Hungary.We were told by the Red Cross after WWII,
he was taken to Dachau. They have no record of him being
there. It is my mother's idea he was shot in one those mass graves along the way. I
would still like to search some more to completely illuminate the possibilities
of him been taken to any camps. Can you help me in any way? If
you could, I would be very grateful.
My father is alive at the age of 83. He is a survivor. Sincerely, Alicia (Varga) Iovino Bthnybeach@aol.com
8/21/06 Ms. Kaczmar,
I have recently discovered
your very impressive website as part of my search for information about the
DP camp at Dachau and in particular an UNRRA team that was stationed there
as the camp was being established in May of 1945.
I am co-authoring a memoir with a Holocaust Survivor who, following liberation during a Death March in the vicinity of Bad Nauheim, joined up with an UNRRA team based there and shortly thereafter accompanied them to their new assignment at Dachau, where he served as a driver and general assistant for several months. We are seeking to locate the number of this UNRRA team and the name of its leader, a British woman. She was extraordinarily kind to him and was instrumental in helping him recover from 4 years of deprivation. With her assistance, he was able to avoid being assigned to a DP camp himself. Yet, with the passage of time, he can no longer remember her name, those of other team members or the Team #.
In addition to our continuing efforts to locate this information from various sources, including the UNRRA archives in New York and the Gedenkstatte & Museum at Dachau, I wonder if you have any knowledge or resources that could be of help? Thank you for any assistance, and for your extraordinary efforts to document DP camp history. Daniel Kadden, Ph.D, Olympia, WA, email:dkadden@comcast.net

Aug. 9, 2019 Hi Olga,
Thank you very much for all of the info that you sent me! I didn’t know that a search [International Tracing Service -https://arolsen-archives.org/en/ ] was available for me to look into my father’s locations!
My father, Andrew(Andrij) Wenger Born 1924, was wrongly convicted of belonging to UPA and was placed into forced labour from 1943-1945.
He spent that time in 4 concentration camps, witnessing “Hell on earth”. They were Buchenwald, Dachau, Flossenberg and Gross-Rosen.
Thank you again for developing this website.I sincerely Thank You!,

There are some reports of stealing bicycles and threatening Germans to give them food or clothing (the DPs were preferred to to live better in camps so). Soon a big number were brought to Ansbach and Bamberg. But a great number remained there, not only in the town of Dinkelsbühl but some at their assigned farms or in many small places in the small communities nearby. The mayors of the communities had to take care of them, i.e., required to get the same food as the Germans. A thousand refugees from Sudetenland were taken from Dinkelsbühl. Another 1000 'Poles' (*), Serbs and Croats were transported to Ansbach.
On 3 Oct. 1945 were 391 DPs in Dinkelsbühl District. On 10 Nov. 1945 there were 500 DPs in Dinkelsbühl District.

Dear Olga,
Months ago I asked you for help in finding relatives of my parents Mykola Jemeljanenko
And Weronika Alpina and I am very grateful to you for your advice. I have finally
received information from the archives that you suggested. They were Ukrainian
but living in Poland before WW2. My father lived in Maciejew and my mother in
Lipno. During the war they were sent to Germany. My father was sent to Duisburg in
1943 then Nordhurn in 1945 then in 1946 to Bathurn Lingen DP Camp until 1948.
My mother was in Datel Recklinghausen then Haltern, Muenster DP camps then worked
at 18DPACS in Muenchen-Gladbach until 1948. I would appreciate it if you could
give more information on those places. They migrated to Australia separately
in 1950, My mother from Naples in Italy my father from Bremen, Germany so there
is 2 years that they do not account for. Could you please place this on your
web site again please Olga? Thank you in anticipation. Yours Sincerely, Anna

John in Germany
These photos, taken during the war, are of my father and uncle. They were the fortunate slave labor; were able to work around horses instead of the factory...and were fed. The forced labor in some factories were on starvation rations of one slice of bread, one cup of coffee and one bowl of watery soup per day. Archived papers say John was a valued worker. The farmer he was assigned to was authorized to have a slave worker because he had a son in active duty. Emilion worked for another farmer down the street. Olga

Emslager KZ
Emslandlager camps (Moor camps)
"In summer 1933, the three concentration camps Börgermoor, Esterwegen and Neusustrum were opened, located close to the Dutch border, initially containing about 4,000 political prisoners. In Börgermoor, prisoners wrote the song of the Peat Bog Soldies ("Lied der Moorsoldaten"). After being closed as concentration camps in 1934 (Esterwegen 1936), these and four new camps were put under the control of the judicial authorities and became the Emsland penal camps.
In 1938 eight new camps were built. Six of them stayed penal camps till the end of WW II, nine others were used for Prisoners of War from the Soviet Union, Italy, France and other countries from 1939 till 1945. In 1944/45 two of these camps became satellites of Neuengamme concentration camp. The Emsland camps had their own subsidiary forced-labor camps in northern Germany, Norway and western France. A total of 70.000 penal prisoners and more than 100.000 Prisoners of War were incarcerated there. "Best regards Kurt Buck
"While the Nazis generally treated the non-Soviet P.O.W. according to the rules of the international laws, the Soviet soldiers were actually killed. They reduced their food supplies far under the subsistence level, let them starve, freeze or die of illnesses. The so-called Russian camps were often blocked from the outside world because of epidemics. You can gather from the lists of graves and documents that 14,250 to 26,250 Soviet soldiers are supposed to be buried on the six war graveyards in the Emsland." This

3/18/06 Dear Olga ,
I am doing research for a small historic exhibition covering the history of my
suburb Eselsberg which is a part of Ulm, Germany. Our planned exhibition should
cover the last 150 years and parts of this history are the DP Camps and the DPs
themselves, on the Eselsberg where the former Wehrmacht Barracks Hindenburg Kaserne
and some installation called Oberberghof. Poorly is known about this and I would
like to cover this in our exhibition too. I remember some words of my grandmas,
who told me about the DPs in the Hindenburg Kaserne, were she worked some times
as a scrubwoman, but she did not told about the circumstances and the people
there, only that she was lucky to earn some money in bad times. Email: Christian

Ettal
Monestary
Forced labourers at Cloister Ettal during the second World War
After 1940, the labor office in Weilheim, assigned five Poles (along with
the two children of a married couple), six Ukrainians and thirteen Russians
to work in our monastery. In the subsequent years, thirty-five French prisoners
of war (but not all at the same time) were also assigned to work at our monastery.
After 1943, sixteen of these French war prisoners continued to work at our
monastery as "Civilian Workers" and were duly compensated for their labor. Indeed, as "Civilian Workers",
the sixteen French employees of the monastery could return home during their
vacation and they could also transfer their earnings back to their families
in France. Many of these transfer bank receipts were found in the monastery's
administrative records.
As from 1940, the
labour office in Weilheim assigned foreign workers to work in the different
monastery concerns. These foreign workers took the place of the monks
and lay employees who had been called to join the military service. For
the most part, the foreign workers were assigned to work in the monastery's
agricultural undertakings, the cloister sawmill as well as in the cloister
and school kitchens. The "Heimschule", the monastery's school, was confiscated by the state and renamed "Deutsche Heimschule" and
ran under the auspices of the state.

1/6/08 Amazing, Dear Olga,
I happened upon your website this morning and chills went up and down my
spine. I am doing research regarding my mother's imprisonment in Nazi Germany's
concentration and labor camps. Her memory is sharp but the spelling
of the camps and towns are not. I came across the information I need and
more. I want to say THANK YOU for establishing this website. I think I remember
coming across a page with gravesites. I have a sister buried in Eutein, Germany.
I was wondering if there is a website on this. I came up short.
My mother is of Romanian descent. Her
village was 3 miles North of Siget, not far from Elie Weisel. She was deported
to Auschwitz in 1944 and then to Lubberstadt and worked in a munitions factory.
She was shot by British soldiers who thought the train full of prisoners
were Nazis trying to escape. The British sergeant who helped her and her
cousins settle in Eutin and get medical attention was named Ernest Finch.
He was helpful in getting her settled in the US. My family is Jewish, so
I assume my sister Helen Caterina Grosz or Gross is buried in the Jewish
Section in Eutin. She died at 5 weeks old.
Thanks
again for all you've done. Es Goodman columbo1@cox.net
Fallingbostel prisoner of war camp Stalag XIB / 375 |
Story and photos of the Military Museum - www.fallingbostelmilitarymuseum.de Once again Ukrainians aren't mentioned. If Polish and Russians were there, 3000 Soviet prisoners were buried there -- so there must have been Ukrainians there. Excerpts from: SEARCHING FOR MY DAD, by David J. Fleischer (Son of 3AD WWII veteran Neil Fleischer, 143rd Signal Co)
• Stalag XID, which was within sight of the Stalag XIB and had one purpose; to hold Russian and Ukrainian prisoners. The Russians despised the Germans and the Germans despised the Russians. For this deep hatred the Germans provided special accommodations for their Russian prisoners. During 1941 and 1942, over 33,000 Russians arrived at Stalag XID. The Germans didn't bother to build barracks for their Russian captives. They had them dig holes in the ground. These holes were their "homes" during their first winter in Germany. My research has shown that some Germans considered this the easiest way to handle the prisoners. When they died, the holes were just filled in. Of the over 33,000 Russians that arrived at the camp, only 1,800 remained alive at the war's end.
• Another district camp was Stalag XIC; it was part of the infamous Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. The camp where Anne Frank and so many others died.
• Now back to Stalag XIBThe war was closing in on the Germans. Stalag XIB became a central camp and very over-crowded. Prisoners were moved from other camps as the Allies pushed in from the East and the West. At this time the German army was short of able-bodied men so the camp was guarded by middle-aged men and not the young crack troops of Hitler's earlier years. These men were tired and probably didn't want to be there either.
Liberation did come on April 16, 1945 when a reconnaissance troop of the 8th Hussars, part of the Famous British 7th Armored Division (the "Desert Rats") found the camp. For more of this story, see: http://www.3ad.com

Flossenburg
was a camp in the hills above the village of Floss in Bavaria near
the Czech border. The camp was established in 1938 to assist an
SS firm which operated a large granite quarry nearby. Most inmates
were worked in the quarries or nearby Messerschmidt factories. More
than 110,000 prisoners passed through Flossenburg and its subcamps. It
is estimated that up to 45,000 died, many of them during

Thank you very much for all of the info that you sent me! I didn’t know that a search [International Tracing Service - https://arolsen-archives.org/en/ ] was available for me to look into my father’s locations!
My father, Andrew(Andrij) Wenger Born 1924, was wrongly convicted of belonging to UPA and was placed into forced labour from 1943-1945. He spent that time in 4 concentration camps, witnessing “Hell on earth”. They were Buchenwald, Dachau, Flossenberg and Gross-Rosen.

Hi Olga:
I am trying to find out information on my father-in-law, Simon Masnyk. He was originally from Lubaczow and was taken as a forced labourer by the Germans. He remembers being in Forhheim and Erlangen. He immigrated to Canada around 1952. He was in Belgium for a time prior to coming to Canada working in the mines. He was born in October of 1922. Do you know of any DP camps that were in either of those Towns in Germany.
Thank you for your help. Lorena Masnyk lmasnyk@canismalus.com

Jan 22, 2021 Hi Olga;
I live in Canada and am trying to piece together our family tree. Was hoping you can assist in
directing me to various resources available.
Parents are Mykola Smalec (Born 1921 in Nowe Celo Lviv Oblast Ukraine) and Helen Charzcuk
(Born 1925 in Cholm Ukraine). Both were required to leave and work in Germany.
My father Mykola arrived in Germany Dec. 1941. Mother Helen most likely arrived around the
same time.
They were sent to DP camp in Geismar e22 Germany. I have their marriage certificate indicating marriage was conducted in Gottingen Germany and shows their home was at Geismar Landstrasse e22 D.P. Camp. Also, have some wedding pictures.
After the war, around 194-50, they went to Waltham Abbey England and worked in the greenhouses/farms in the Newgate Street Village. If you could assist or steer me in the direction to attaining more details, that would be
appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Godenau - The army ammunition depot Godenau
Google translate
This was followed in Godenau, as in many similar systems also, the takeover of the shaft with the premises by the Wehrmacht.
This began in 1935 with the renovation and expansion work on the establishment of Army ammunition factory (mine) Godenau. For the new task have been setup in days various ammunition chambers for the storage of finished products and powders. As a new headframe is 1938 24 m high reinforced concrete structure was built.
Outside the bay area further plants have emerged. Between 1936 and 1938 the village Limmer, the production area was built to the west with various workhouses and industrial buildings. On the southern edge of Godenau the Wehrmacht established an extensive labor camp where the workers were housed. In this context, it also came back on the use of foreign and forced laborers. For Godenau an occupation with an average of around 400 workers is documented.
1938 began the production and accumulation in the Heeresmuna. Mainly cartridges and small parachutes are manufactured here. The operation ran until the end of the war. On 8 April 1945 reached Associations of the U.S. Army the area, ending the Second World War for this region.
As of 1945:
The surrounding area has been handed over shortly after the war according to the contract by the Americans to the British.The Allies began in 1946 with the demilitarization of the system. The embedded powder stocks were burned. In October 1947 there was a serious incident from underground. Here, around 3,400 t powder exploded. Also at the mouth hole of the shafts came thereby to destruction of reinforced concrete headframe has been destroyed.
Later, all parts of the ammunition depot walked in civil-use properties. The bay area is used commercially today. Between 1984 and 1986, "Desdemona I" was filled in July 1987. From the former labor camp has become a residential area.The production area could develop with various different companies after the war in a commercial area.
Condition:
Diverse historical factory buildings are still preserved. Almost all are used and are depending on the use and ownership in different states. The historical uniform and typical construction is, however, clearly be seen everywhere. This is evident especially in the former manufacturing area. Today, various companies use the historic building. These were new modern buildings in and around the grounds. Over the years, the farms stretched from beyond the original factory border.
The areas of the production area and the labor camp, with the exception of private land, freely accessible. Contrast, the bay area is locked as company property

Gunskirchen Lager and photos
"Sometimes we slept three deep in the mud of the barracks," an inmate related. "We were too weak to move out the dead, too weak to move ourselves, so we slept with the bodies." All
the inmates were vermin-infested and many were covered with huge, open sores."

Can you help me? I'm trying to locate information about my father,Tadeusz
Lech-Bielinski, an artist who survived Stutthoff, Gusen and Matthausen by painting
and sketching for the German guards. He came to Belgium as a displaced person.
Between 1949 and 1952 he immigrated to Australia on assisted passage. I have
looked through passenger lists available on the net without success. Lucy Elliott
