Hello Olga, my name is Petra Simic Jelisic, I have information that indicates that my father Gvozden Simic and my mother Angelina Simic were from 1944 to 1948 at
D. P. Camp. St. Johann and Camp Asten.

Could you give me a few leads on how to reseach more information on Asten DP camp and St. Johann camp?
Can I request copies of status sheets, medical info, indentity papers, or any other info relating to their stay in these Camps, in Austria?

My sister Maria Mara Simic Jelisic was born in St. Johann, Pongau, Austria in 1947. She was born to Angelina Jelisic and Gvozden Simic.
Please, any information you can find for me will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you, Petra Simic petrasimne@gmail.com

Searching:
It is important to me to find my displaced- person friend of nearly 60 years ago--- He was a 12-14 years old and was a Czechoslovakian and living in Salzburg Austria in 1946. I would like to get us a roster of Czech. displaced persons living in Salzburg in 1946. I have found that there might have been 600 or so there but there should not be too many named Joseph and about 14 years old; I would like to locate him since I am in a position to help him if he needs help----and I would very much like to go see him under any circumstance. Patronize an old 78 year old sentimenal ex G I. How about the Embassy in Prague? From: Floyd Carroll floydcarroll@sbcglobal.net

4/10/05 Hi,
I lived for 5 years in a DP camp on the outskirts of Salzburg. The camp was located in Groedig, Austria. It housed hundreds of Donauschwaben refugees, mostly from Yugoslavia. It was called Schwabenlager Groedig. I have a photograph that I can share with anyone who is interested. Thank You Franz Bohn

This is a transcript of a wartime log kept by Sgt. Thomas Horace Hawksworth: "I saw the commandant and requested to go up to Marlag (a marine POW camp) and he promised that several marines already in Stalag were to be sent up as soon as transport was available. This was quite obviously an empty promise for on May 2nd 1943 I was sent with other N.C.O.s to Spittal-an-der-Drau in the Tyrol. Now I could really get enthusiastic about this place as I've never seen such beautiful scenery and as the camp was quite small, discipline was easier and we were allowed to go for walks under a guard, of course. I was able to go swimming, sometimes four times a week in a lake called Millstätter See at Seeboden, about 3 km by 1 km. The swimming, scenery and a good commandant combined to make this the best camp I've been in. Often as I sat by this lake looking at the beautiful scenery, it crossed my mind what an ideal place to bring Bunchie and Maureen to for a holiday after the war. I don't believe there was an unfit man among all the British there. I myself was tiptop. Must have been to go three rounds with Jock Sanderson in the two boxing tournaments we held there. The Russians, however, were not so well treated having no Red Cross and insufficient food, with apparently no constitution to withstand this life, they simply died off like flies. There must be millions of mass graves throughout Germany." For more of Hawksworth's story, see: http://www.btinternet.com/
