The collection is comprised of one item, a typed report of 131 pages, written by Holocaust survivor Josef Butterman, and dedicated
to the fifteenth anniversary of the liberation of Concentration Camp Bergen-Belsen. The report includes numerous photographs
and documents Mr. Butterman's personal experiences as a displaced person living in the camp after its liberation on April
15, 1945 until 1952. The report describes political factions within the camp, cultural and athletic activities, and comments
on intermarriage in later chapters. The report is an outspoken personal account and reflects Mr. Butterman's personal prejudices.
Its detailed descriptions of life in the DP Camp Bergen Belsen would be of interest to those seeking information about the
experiences of Holocaust survivors in displaced persons camps after the war.
