Killing center on the Bug River northeast of Warsaw in the General Government (occupied Poland). Opened in July 1942, Treblinka was the largest of the three killing centers of Operation Reinhard. Between 700,000 and 860,000 Jews and several thousand Gypsies were killed there. A revolt of the inmates on August 2, 1943 destroyed most of the camp, and it was closed in November 1943.

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 Knab

Werdohl - civilian workers camp

15, Jul 2010,
I am working on completing those papers you sent me so I can get their immigration files.  I am hoping there will be some information in there.  Fortunately, I have their alien cards, so I am hopeful that will speed the process.
 
Thank you so much for this information.  I appreciate you taking the time to research this. I was informed that VDM had factories in Eveking (now known as Werdohl).  On my mother's arbeitskarte, it stated VDM Halbwerkzeug -- Eveking - so I am wondering if there was a camp associated with that area.  Many years ago, my mother gave me Reichmarks and told me to hold on to them.  I don't know whether this was money she earned, or just the money she came here with, since I know some civilian work camps paid their workers. 
 
Thank you again for this information.  It will help me as I continue to research.

Olga's reply: I have nothing in the book for Eveking. Werdohl had a civilian work camp at Gemeinschafts lager (camp name) with 2324 persons, Arbeitsamt Luedenscheid

I have included a map of the Wilhelmshaven Marineartilleriearsenal camp. There were other camps, Lager Neufeld, and a particular factory-based sub-camp, in the Wilhemshaven area. The above addresses are from a letter sent to me by the City of Wilhelmshaven Archivist which includes an e-mail address. I have other information about the Sande, Wilhelmshaven, labour camp. After the war, it housed Soviet soldiers and, possibly, civilians, being held in transit, and often involuntarily so, to the USSR. During the war the camp held Dutch, Belgian, French, Polish and other inmates. Besten. Alan Newark Leeds, UK

3/6/05 Dear Olga, I found this testimony on a website of a British Veteran:
"On 10th April, just outside Wildeshausen, Lubeck, the Rifle Brigade captured a large German hospital in the pine wood with 200 patients. During the night they were mortared, and infantry and self-propelled guns appeared and when morning broke, the patients and staff had vanished ."
I'm searching information about my mother's past as a German Red Cross nurse. She was Hungarian and incorporated in a Hungarian field hospital. This hospital withdrew with the German army all the way to Stalag XI B. She was among the sanitary personal who took part in the evacuation of the field hospital few days before the liberators reached the Stalag. I know that she was captured by the American army. I have her POW # (probably the only real information in my possession). Soon after she was involved in the UNRRA activities as nurse. I don't know how long she stayed in Germany as a DP, but she probably stayed in Travemunde, Lubeck or Hamburg. Can anybody help me with additional information about this event, or direct my research? My mother passed away 6 months ago. She would never talk about her past. Thank you in advance for the slightest help. Marija
