Kurzfassung:
After their liberation from the concentration camps, Holocaust survivors were sadly disappointed when the Allied authorities again interned them in camps with military discipline, lack of adequate food and clothing, and isolation from the outside world. The soldiers who had liberated them and gained some understanding of the trauma under which they still suffered were soon replaced by fresh troops who saw in them only constant malcontents and troublemakers. The Harrison Report of August 1945 brought improvement in the American zone of occupation, but in the British zone the military government stood rigidly by its conception that Jews should not receive special treatment. The German population remained antisemitic; the occupation authorities, themselves permeated by antisemitism, did little to counter this. Both Germans and Allied military held exaggerated views of the DPs' involvement in the black market.
