Looking For Information On U.S. Zone Displaced Persons Camps In Germany
I am writing this article in the hope that it will bring replies for my research.

July 23, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- I am writing this article in the hope that it will bring replies for my research.

My story dates back to the years 1949-51 in the post WWII era. I was born in the U.S. Zone DP Camp in Germany. As a toddler of 2 years of age I got struck with tuberculosis. I was sent by the Joint (A.J.J.D.C.) American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee to a children's hospital by the name of IRO TBC Kempten Kinderkrankenhaus, where I was held for one entire year. This hospital was located in the town of Kempten im Allgau, Bavaria, Germany. It was run by the I.R.O. (International Refugee Organization) a U.N. (United Nations) organization, intended for children with tuberculosis.

As I was told by my parents, who where Holocaust survivors, I was tortured in this hospital in various ways.

1) I was held tied down in my crib by my hands and feet 24/7.
2) They used metal clamps on my hands, I still have the marks as of today.

Finally, my father (o.b.m.) took me out of there preempted - before I was completely healed. He kept saying to me repeatedly in the latter years just these words: "My son, you should know that I took you out of there; I bet how many more Jewish children were left over there forever."

My aim with this article is to find the records of this Hospital where this information could be found.

So, I want to ask anyone who knows any information about this Hospital, and who knows of any Published Book concerning:

1) this Kempten Children's Hospital.
2) DP camps children with tuberculosis, how they were treated.

Please send it to me by email at levinvoice@warwick.net to Emanuel Brach.
