  4. A group of children in the Foehrenwald Displaced Persons' Camp, Germany • By the end of 1946, there were approximately 250,000 Jewish DPs. The need for DP camps dwindled with the establishment of the State of Israel; about two-thirds of the DPs immigrated to Israel, while the rest mostly moved to the United States. • Foehrenwald was the last remaining DP camp in Europe; it was closed in 1957.

  5. A group of survivors in Bergen-Belsen Displaced Persons’ Camp, Germany • After liberation, the concentration camp of Bergen-Belsen became the site of a Displaced Persons' (DP) camp. The British army medical corps helped in the physical rehabilitation of the former prisoners. The DP camp was in existence up to 1951, with the residents of the camp, under the leadership of Josef Rosensaft, managing to organize a lively social, cultural, and political life in the camp.

  6. Opening of the Jewish National Fund’s Bazaar in Poking Pine City Displaced Persons' Camp, Germany • Located in the Bamberg district, Poking Pine City was the second largest Displaced Persons' camp in Germany after Bergen-Belsen.

First They Came for Me • First they came for the communists,and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist. • Then they came for the socialists,and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a socialist. • Then they came for the trade unionists,and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist. • Then they came for the Jews,and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew. • Then they came for the Catholics,and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Catholic. • Then they came for me,and there was no one left to speak for me. Lutheran Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984). He was openly anti-Nazi and as a result was imprisoned from 1938 to 1945 in several camps, including Dachau.
