The following collections are included: documents regarding the DP camps and related postwar civil judicial proceedings; Brycha publication; Perla Karney collection of photographs; Sylvia Lowe collection of post-liberation documents; and the collection of publications printed by the DP camps’ communal and societal organizations.
The collection of publications includes various printed materials published in and outside the displaced persons camps in Germany and Austria. Largely, the language of publications is Yiddish. The DP camps’ committees published them periodically. Overall, these publications focus on contemporary events and on prospective life in Palestine. Most of these materials are original publications. Another rubric covered by the DP’s publications relates to the social and cultural life of Holocaust survivors while in DP camps.
