Dear Olga,
I was born in a DP camp in Hannover. Lager Kosciuszko, under the British.
My father worked for UNRRA distributing food after being released for a forced
labor camp at Unterluss. Any help you can give would be very much appreciated. Sophie

Do you have any information on Camp Moeckernstrasse in Hannover. I am searching for Andreas Tesluk or other Tesluk family members? Alexandra Tesluk Gibson
The
Ashes of Innocence, by Alexandra Tesluk, is a powerful, gripping
page-turner. Blending intense psychological trauma, interspersed elements
of beauty and love, Tesluk guides you on a journey, recollecting a childhood
filled with repetitive physical, mental and emotional abuse and her search
for her father lost in the rubble of World War II.
"The English kids laughed at me. The only way that I knew how to identify myself was by the DP label, which everyone else gave me. And, no one wanted to sit beside a DP. I didn't know what it meant, but I could tell by their laughter and pointing fingers that it wasn't a good thing to be. School created more trouble for me at home, too. If I was delayed and came home late, or had a bad report card, I would be punished."
