| Résumé anglais | Jewish displaced persons camps in Germany (1945-1957), Juliane Wetzel. Among the populations given the "displaced persons" status after the liberation of Germany, the Jewish populations of Central and Southern Europe were not immediately given a specific status. They were grouped with others in "Lodging Centers" that sometimes used former Nazi concentration camps. It was only in the American occupation zone, after a February 1946 report revealed the painful conditions in which the former Jewish deportees were gathered, that they received a special status, without, however, obtaining the closing of the camps. In this milieu, Jewish "displaced persons" developed an intensive cultural activity, organized with the financial and moral aid of international Jewish organizations. The rupture with the German society and the old tradition of assimilation helped bring about the emergence of a new culture, of which the reprinting of the Babylon Talmud is the most important testimony. In spite of the bad relations with the German populations that by and large remained hostile, this intellectual life, that continued until 1957, date of the closing of the last camp, allowed the transition between the former Jewish communities of Central Europe and the identity that formed through the emigration towards the United States and the participation in the construction of the State of Israël. | |
