Bad Aibling
Bad Aibling Children’s Village, a transit camp for DP orphans and homeless children, was located in a Bavarian health resort near Munich. Around 500 Jewish children stayed at Bad Aibling until it was possible to organize their emigration, either to Palestine or to the USA.
ORT school in Bad Aibling had 100 students, the majority aged fourteen to eighteen. In the school, ORT tutors provided young DPs with language tuition and orientation courses for prospective emigrants. There were also vocational courses conducted in auto-mechanics, locksmiths training, electro technology, radio technology, bricklaying, joinery, dental mechanics, dressmaking, shoemaking and domestic sciences.
The camp dissolved in 1951
