Description: Jewish Love printed letter of 2 Holocaust Survivors, She'erit Hapletah, DP Munich 1949 Names of the Holocaust Survivors: Rabinowicz and Fritz Eberleien. Signed by the sender. Language: German Place: Munich Year: 1949 Translation of the letter: My dear Miss Rabinowicz! Munich, 20.6.1949 I am writing to you today to remain true to my promises, so that you can receive a letter of good news when you arrive. Of course I hope that you had a pleasant crossing and that you have arrived safely in your new home. Now all my dear acquaintances are leaving here and I alone must stay here in this miserable country. Believe it or not, I would love to pack my bags and go out into the big world, but unfortunately my wings are clipped. At least I still have one consolation, these are my beloved mountains, which I so much wanted to show you, but you always didn't trust me because you thought I was asking something of you that you couldn't give me . But my dear Miss, you really misjudged me, because I loved you the way one can have a dear sister who only thought about doing good things in the world. My dear Miss Rabinowicz, I hope that you will not lack for anything in your new home and that you will also find the one your little heart longs for so much. Now, of course, it is very important for you that you become completely healthy and approach your new life with renewed vigor, because it will not be so easy for you to adjust to your new environment. But you have the advantage that you have a beloved relative over there who will make the first steps easier for you. I also ask your relatives to really love you and to support you with words and deeds, because you, my dear lady, have really lost it that someone takes care of you. If I could, and if I was in my power, I would remove the stones from his path so that you wouldn't bump into them with your little slippers. Please write to me, too, if you don't want to delete me completely from your mails. But I know that you also liked me a little, because I was very happy that you came to say goodbye to me again, I will never forget that in my life. I wish you all the good and best things that still exist in this world, above all health and a happy life. And now I remain with the warmest wishes and many thousands of greetings Yours, Fritz Eberleien. Munich 15 Goethestr. 64 Sh'erit ha-Pletah Is a Hebrew term for Jewish Holocaust survivors living in Displaced Persons (DP) camps, and the organizations they created to act on their behalf with the Allied authorities. These were active between 27 May 1945 and 1950–51, when the last DP camps closed. A total of more than 250,000 Jewish survivors spent several years following their liberation in DP camps or communities in Germany, Austria, and Italy, since they could not, or would not, be repatriated to their countries of origin. The refugees became socially and politically organized, advocating at first for their political and human rights in the camps, and then for the right to emigrate to the countries of their choice, preferably British-ruled Mandatory Palestine, the USA and Canada. By 1950, the largest part of them did end up living in those countries; meanwhile British Palestine had become the Jewish State of Israel. Displaced persons camps in post–World War II Europe were established in Germany, Austria, and Italy, primarily for refugees from Eastern Europe and for the former inmates of the Nazi German concentration camps. A "displaced persons camp" is a temporary facility for displaced persons, whether refugees or internally displaced persons. Two years after the end of WWII in Europe, some 850,000 people lived in displaced persons camps across Europe, among them Armenians, Poles, Latvians, Lithuanians, Estonians, Yugoslavs, Jews, Greeks, Russians, Ukrainians, Hungarians, Czechoslovaks and Belarusians. At the end of the Second World War, at least 40 million people had been displaced from their home countries, with about eleven million in Allied-occupied Germany. These included former prisoners of war, released slave laborers, and both non-Jewish and Jewish concentration-camp survivors. The Allies categorized the refugees as “displaced persons” (DPs) and assigned the responsibility for their care to the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA).
