Biographical/Historical note

Feldafing was the first Displaced Persons camp exclusively for Jewish refugees. The camp was located in the Bavarian town of Feldafing, part of the district of Starnberg, in the American zone of occupation in Germany.

The camp was opened by United States Army on May 1, 1945 as an emergency measure to house mostly Hungarian Jews who found themselves in the area when the Germans capitulated. The first director of the camp was Lieutenant Irving J. Smith.
