3,500 Ukrainians (2,000 Poles) protested with 5 days of hungar strikes, silent mourning, religious services and hymns prepared for martydom because 130 had been evicted from the camp for refusal to go before pro-Soviet screening commission to give info which may have endangered their loved ones back home. Screenings were cancelled (Wyman, p.59).,

Jews were there in Salzburg camp also.
Hi Olga,
I found your website about DP Camps in Austria and read it with great interest.
I lived in Rositten Kasserne in Salzburg for five years, ending in August, 1951, when my family emigrated to the U.S. I was six years old at that time. I returned to Salzburg and found Rositten Str., and asked about a refugee camp in the area in the late 1940's and was told that there was indeed a camp at this site. It is now a very stylish townhouse complex.
I have memories of going to kindergarten in the camp and attending first grade at Reis Schule in Salzburg. Also, I recognize the names of Steiermark and Parsch, as my family told me that we also lived there at one time. If you have any info about Rositten Kaserne, I'd like to know. Thank You, Irmgard Kauk Spencer

Olyu....My mother, Salomea Drozdowska was in a displaced persons camp in Salzburg. She was from Ukraine...Lviv to be exact. Can you guide me on how I might find any information about my mother, who is now 94 years old and can't remember anything? I would truly be grateful for any advice you can give. I will be in Salzburg in November and would like to get whatever information I can then. Best regards....
