Between 1945 and 1957 there was a camp for Jewish Displaced Persons in Föhrenwald in Upper Bavaria. In the "last shtetl in Europe", as it was known among the inhabitants, Yiddish was spoken almost exclusively; there was hardly any contact with the German population. Abraham Ben (*1947), son of Polish Holocaust survivors, lived in various DP camps until he was nine years old, including a long time in Föhrenwald. In a contemporary witness talk with Dr. Katharina Friedla (Fondation pour la Mémoire de la Shoah, Paris) he tells of his memories of this special place. With a historical introduction by Dr. Angelika Königseder (Centre for Research on Anti-Semitism at the TU Berlin).
