Last Jewish DP Camp Is Bowing Out
Paris based dispatch notes Camp Foehrenwald near Munich will be dismantled in months as 781 residents emigrate or settle in Germany. The last of 66 Jewish displaced persons camps once housed about 250000, with 140 remaining as of early 1951 and 250 children awaiting release. The AJDC led the emigration effort, moving over 100000 to Israel and other lands, while Germany and AJDC fund care for problem DPs.
