Language: Polish
Sh'erit ha-Pletah
Is a Hebrew term for Jewish Holocaust survivors living in Displaced
Persons (DP) camps, and the organizations they created to act on their behalf
with the Allied authorities. These were active between 27 May 1945 and 1950–51,
when the last DP camps closed.
A total of more than 250,000 Jewish survivors spent several years
following their liberation in DP camps or communities in Germany, Austria, and
Italy, since they could not, or would not, be repatriated to their countries of
origin. The refugees became socially and politically organized, advocating at
first for their political and human rights in the camps, and then for the right
to emigrate to the countries of their choice, preferably British-ruled
Mandatory Palestine, the USA and Canada. By 1950, the largest part of them did
end up living in those countries; meanwhile British Palestine had become the
Jewish State of Israel.
Formation of the DP camps
In an effort to destroy the evidence of war crimes, Nazi
authorities and military staff accelerated the pace of killings, forced victims
on death marches, and attempted to deport many of them away from the rapidly
shrinking German front lines. As the German war effort collapsed, survivors
were typically left on their own, on trains, by the sides of roads, and in
camps. Concentration and death camps were liberated by Allied forces in the
final stages of the war, beginning with Majdanek, in July 1944, and Auschwitz,
in January 1945; Buchenwald, Bergen-Belsen, Dachau, Mauthausen, and other camps
were liberated in April and May 1945.
