The Jewish DP-Hospital Sankt Ottilien (1945–1948)

The Jewish DP-Hospital Sankt Ottilien (1945–1948)

From April 1945 to May 1948, the confiscated Benedictine monastery of Sankt Ottilien was transformed into a DP hospital, rehabilitation center and camp where over the years around 6100 Jewish patients were cared for, many of them from the concentration camp of Dachau. It served as a central maternity station for Jewish mothers where 431 children were born. Here some noteworthy events took place: On May 27, 1945, the liberated camp prisoners organized a Liberation Concert. On July 25-26, 1945, liberated Jews from all military zones met here for the first time and founded a central committee. Here under the supervision of Rabbi Samuel Snieg, the “Survivors’ Talmud” was edited by a Torah School.
