Remember Me? Photos from Kloster Inderdorf

Earlier I posted about the US Holocaust Memorial Museum’s project to identify photos of children displaced by World War II.  A subset of the Remember Me? photos were taken at Kloster Inderdorf, a former monastery in Bavaria near Dachau.  In these photos the children hold placards with their names so that surviving family members might be able to recognize them.

The Children’s Center at Kloster Interhofen was established by the UN’s Relief and Rehabilitation Administration to house homeless non-German children after the war.  Most but not all of the children at the center were Jewish. For example, Jadwiga Szulikowska was separated from her mother, a Polish forced laborer, during the bombing of Munich.  

The US Holocaust Memorial Museum is actively looking for information about the children pictured.  A complete list of the Remember Me? children can be found here.

A reunion of those who lived at Kloster Inderdorf after World War II is planned for July 2012.
