MAJOR REUNION HERE ON WW.DPCAMPS.ORG:
6/29/04
Dear Olga,
We have been searching the internet for my father and came across your
valuable site. My name is Natasha Elms. I was born in Greven in
or near a DP camp. All I know of my father is what my aunt told me.
His name is Janek Denisewicz or Denisiewicz. I have 3 photographs
of him, from what I was told he was born in or near Krakow.
After the war he worked at "Lager Munster" Westphalia for the
M/office IRO either for the British or Americans. Later he migrated
to America or Canada. My godfather, W. Borek, knew my father and the
last known address that have of him is 106 Wilkesbarre 18 New York.
I would love to know if you could help me locate or tell me anything
about him. I have wondered all my life. Thank You so much. Natasha

My name is Kristina Denisiewicz Cavalieri. My brother emailed this website to me and the pictures I am looking at are pictures of my father. I was born in a displaced persons camp in Germany and we later migrated to the United States through New York and then migrating to Connecticut. I am the oldest child of five children. I am truly stunned by this and hope my brother and I can answer any question you may have. I am so sorry to tell you that our father passed away from lung cancer. My hopes are that this email reaches you and I can give you some peace and answer any question you may have. Sincerely,
Kristina Denisiewicz Cavalieri

Gross Hesepe near Meppen,
4/13/05 Hi Olga,
I am trying to locate a DP Labor camp my family and I spent time in up until 1945. I believe we were liberated by the British and the camps name was Grosshesepe. Can you help? Thanks in advance. Terry
Reply: The official name was in two words. There was a DP camp from 1945 until at least August 1948. Gross Hesepe today forms part of the community Geeste, zip code 49744. Submitted by: Wolfgang Strobel,
