Bad Reichenhall displaced persons (DP) camp was located near Salzburg in the American zone of occupation of Germany. The camp served as a large center for Jewish DPs between 1945 and its closing on July 31, 1951. In October 1946, the camp population numbered roughly 6,000 Jews.

Bad Reichenhall played an important role in the history of the Sh'erit ha-Pletah when it hosted the second and third Congresses of Liberated Jews in the American zone of Germany. From February 25 to 27, 1947, and again from March 30 to April 1, 1948, representatives of all the Jewish DP camps of American-occupied Germany gathered in Bad Reichenhall to discuss issues of political, cultural, and social significance.

Within the camp, life centered around the camp's daily newspaper, Der Morgn (The Morning), and the camp's schools, which included a Talmud Torah (religious elementary school) and a Yavneh (religious Zionists) school.

In 1946, Bad Reichenhall functioned as an important station along the Brihah emigration routes. Groups of Jewish refugees traveling between Germany and Austria secretly made their way through Bad Reichenhall en route to ports in Italy, where they hoped to board ships that would transport them to Palestine or the United States.
