The Bergen-Belsen camp served as a refugee camp in its beginnings for refugees and after a few months served only Jews after World War II, and was in fact the largest in the DP camps in Germany, and the only one in the British occupation area. The camp operated in Lower Saxony in northwestern Germany, from the summer of 1945 to September 1950. It operated under British authority and supervised by the United Nations Relief and Reconstruction Manager (UNRRA). Many displaced people began to leave the camp in 1947, with improvement in immigration opportunities. From the spring of 1947, the British government allocated 300 immigration permits a month to Jews in the British Occupation Zone. These allowed legal immigration to the Land of Israel. Between April 1947 and the establishment of the State of Israel in May 1948, 4,200 Jews from the British area Immigrated to Israel, most of them from Bergen-Belsen DP camp, including the child Abraham Nuremberg.

Size (open): 21x15 cm. Stains. Good condition.
