Abstract:
Lists of 172 Jewish "Palestine Candidates" of various nationalities liberated from concentration camps resident in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, dated July 8, 1945. Lists are alphabetically arranged by last name and also include first name, date of birth, city from which deported and place of internment. The majority of those listed were interned in Dachau. Lists are presented by nationality, with Polish Jews being the largest (135 names), followed by Romanian (13 names), Hungarian (13 names), Yugoslav (5 names), Czech (2 names), Lithuanian (2 names), Stateless (1 name) and English (1 name) Jews. A cover letter notes that those on the lists whose names are underlined are of the age for "Youth Aliyah."
