Camps: In Hannover,

civilian factories where the slave labor worked for the Nazis. This camp seems
to have been named after the street it was on.

Thanks Olga, for helping archive
info about DP camps and life.
I was born in Hannover and
lived with parents and other relatives in the Schulenburg camp,
outside of Hannover. My family was there for about seven years;
we emigrated in 1952 to US. I
asked my Dad and he says it's: Schulenburg--not
Schulenburger; and he did not work in any factories during
his stay; from 1949 to 1951. He remembers it as a small camp
of a few or couple hundred people. It was former German-soldier
training camp with barracks and bunkers. Here are my photos
from camp.

My mother, Rosa, was full Italian
Mother and some other relatives full Italians married Serbian ex-soldiers. They hid their Italian backgrounds to some degree and took Serbian last names to stay in camp; afraid they would have to leave since it was full of Baltic, eastern people.
My grandfather is Branko Sretenovic; Godfather is Randjel Stojanovic; and they all had families and wives there.
