Deutsches Museum: UNRRA Transit Camp

The initial reception center was open to all politically or racially persecuted persons and existed until February 1947. The international relief organisation UNRRA — the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration — saw ist central task in the registration, care, and repatriation of persons who had been displaced or deported. This included concentration camp prisoners, forced labourers, and those recognised as Displaced Persons (DPs). UNRRA published the weekly newspaper D.P. Express for this circle of people, with articles in Yiddish, Russian, Polish, French, and German.
