This record group mainly includes post-war registrations of displaced persons (DPs) in various DP camps in Germany and Europe and general registrations of DPs on other continents. In particular the latter registrations were not made in camps, but carried out by governmental agencies, mostly by consulates. But also in Germany and other European countries, files/records were produced on DPs who had not been accommodated in camps, but elsewhere as so-called “Free Living Groups”.
