Description:
Traunstein, located in southeast Bavaria, was the site of a former Dachau subcamp. In 1946 it was converted into a Displaced Persons (DP) camp for Jewish refugees, primarily from Eastern Europe. During the camp’s existence, children were born in the camp and they are included in this collection.
Traunstein was intended as a temporary stopover as survivors sought to emigrate or decided to return to their countries of origin. The “population” varied in number during its use. It was limited to Jews from all over Europe, the largest places of origin were Poland and Hungary, due to anti-Semitic problems in other camps. It remained open until 1949.
This 1947 collection consists of 11,634 records of names of adults and children, date and place of birth, prewar nationality and residence and other available comments.
