The liquidation of the Admont DP Camp in the British zone of Austria–the only Jewish DP center in that zone–is expected to be completed by the end of this year, according to reports received here today by the Jewish Committee for Relief Abroad. After considerable pressure, the DP’s remaining in the camp at present have agreed to move to the camp in the U.S. zone.
In the American zone of Austria, the reports received here say, the Puch camp will soon cease to be a Jewish refugee center, while the Wels camp is expected to shut down shortly. Meanwhile, it was revealed that a convalescent home for Jewish DP’s has been opened at the world-famous resort area, Bad Gastein. The Committee recently dispatched a shipment of toys, books and other articles to children in the British zone in Austria for use during the coming Chanukah celebrations.
