Kinderjahre im Displaced-Persons-Lager Föhrenwald

Reading and discussion with contemporary witness Dr. Beno Salamander

Beno Salamander, born in 1944 in Mary in Turkmenistan, is an internist in Munich and spent his childhood in the Föhrenwald DP camp, now Waldram in Wolfratshausen. His memoirs of the longest-running camp for Jewish survivors from Eastern Europe, published in 2011, are an important contemporary document. They reflect grief and loss, but also hope and new beginnings.
