My parents met and married in "Durzyn" in
1947 and left in 1949 for Australia. I have several photos from Wildflecken
and they are available for anybody to look at on the following internet
sites. There are two albums so there are two different addresses. I would be
happy to hear from anybody regarding these. The sites are: www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2004320&l=242a8&id=1279664376

Chris, The documents I have from Wildflecken are a
combination birth/baptism record. They were issued by the Roman-Cath. Parochial
Office. If you write to the archive, request a copy of the page from their
book. Otherwise they will just send you a form, stating the date of your
birth, and your parents' names. The full page on the other hand, will have
more information, including what building your parents lived in, as well as
the time of your birth, and which hospital the birth took place. |

Does anyone have an original birth certificate from
Wildflecken. I have one but it states it was issued by the State of New York
Dept of Health. More than likely this was created when my stepfather adopted
me after marrying my Mother here in the states. I am currious as to what an
origianl looks like. Maybe if you have an original you can send me a photo so
I can see. Otherwise I will try to get a copy from Germany. I also don't
think the information is correct but another instance of bad interpretation
from German to English. |

I was stationed at Wildflecken (pronounced
Wild-Flicken by US Service Members) in 1989 and 1990. It was really quite
ironic as this was considered bad duty by others in Germany, I included, but
once I was “permit party” this was a really good assignment. We lived by the
range, so didn’t have to travel. When we went to the field, we were home in
30 minutes. The PX and Commissary were nothing to write home about, but most
everything we needed was there, and it was a very tight community. All in
all, I enjoyed my time there, and felt it was a lot better than my time in
Frankfurt or Darmstadt…. |

I have always wanted to know about my birthplace,
but my Mum and Dad very rarely spoke about it except for the so called
'lighter days'. My maiden name is MASZAK. My Dad's name is Kazimierz Maszak,
And my Mum's name is Zofia from the House of Wygnaniec. I am trying to trace
any family that may be living in Poland and any other counttry. So far I have
had no success. Hopefully I may beable to get some help through your guest
book. Previously, while attempting to learn about Wildflecken, I came up
empty. But now I am very gratefull that I have found this website. Thank you

I had just heard a play on BBC radio about Kathryn

which was later made into a famous film starring Audrey Hepburn. It was
inspired by her meeting and working with a Belgian ex-nun at this camp. Very
interesting and thought-provoking site, and so much detail. Thanks to all

document stating that during his time in Wildflecken - Durzyn, Area No. 3,
Unit II, he was not punished, issued for the time 1946 to 1948. When I did a
search as to what Wildflecken was I could not believe it. I now know all
about it and have a piece of information regarding his life I never knew

Doing my annual sign in again - Gosh, the site has
changed! It looks wonderful but I miss all my old friends postings - I
suppose it was impossible to keep them - I have always wondered when the
decendants of the old DP/Labor camp would find this site and start inquiring
about the past history - It was absolutely touching to read some of the
postings. It confirms why the camp and the history is so important - I read
K. Hulmes Book while I was there - it was in our Library and I also have a
copy - I pull it out now and then to refresh my memory about the history of
Wildflecken - I have visited a couple of times in my career - but it just
made me sad because the post isn't very active anymore and it is hard to get
permission to get on - (at least it was the times I visited) - I think the
camp should be made into a historic site and be opened to the public - I do
so hope someone is caring for the old cemetaries and ruined buildings. It
would be ashamed if all is allowed to fall into rack and ruin - Maybe someone
will talk to "Pitzi" about this. All for now - contact me if you
know me or if you just want to talk about those times at the
"Wildspot". |

picture of the machine shop under "IRO." I believe one of the men
in the picture could very well be my father, as it was he was a
machinist/blacksmith by trade and I believe he held such a job at Wildflecken
until we emigrated in 1950. Are there any other similar pictures of the
machine shop that could be shared with me? |

I was born at Camp Wildflecken on 23rd January 1946
to Hedwig Piuro (Jadwiga Pioro). I do know how long she/we were at the Camp
as my mother is not willing to share her memories. In July 1990, my husband
and I visited Wildflecken and were invited to visit the Camp. There we met
Frau Hummel who was working as 16 year old telephonist at the Camp at the
time of my birth. Records at the Church in Wildflecken show that I was
baptised on 23rd January 1946, Priest was Wojciech Gtuszek, and the Sponsors
were Bogdan Kasruba and Lucia Czapla. My mother is now 80 years old and lives
in Adelaide, South Australia. If there is anyone who can remember my mother,
or has any other information of interest, I would be keen to receive the
contact. It was a great thrill to come across this Website and discover the
great interest. |

In the late 1960's my father, Sgt. Raymond Wesley,
was stationed in Wildflecken. I have many happy memories of living there...
one being a Girl Scout. On many occasions, my troop cleaned debri from the
Polish Cemetery. My mother, Helen (school nurse at Wildflecken Elem.) made my
brother and me aware of the history of the camp and we often wondered about
those displaced individuals who lived there before us. I did read The Wild
Place and wish I still had my copy of the book. Good luck to all of you who
are researching your families who came through Wildflecken. |

Scwheinfurt. Thanks to their skill and loving care, I am alive and
functioning well. This happened sometime around 1950-1951 when I was a very
little girl. Don't remember much of the place other than big sunny windows
and lots of music. Apparently, I was in one of the smaller buildings. To this

Stan, What type of information are you looking for?
The Wildflecken archives will probably have a record of your birth
certificate, you can e-mail them - their address is in the links section.
Have you written to The Dept. of Immigration? They should be able to provide
you with copies of Visas that were issued by the IRO, they may have other
information as well, and of course your parents (if alive) are a good
sources, as well as their friends, your godparents, etc. Hope this helps,

Just a little bit of "Wildflecken" trivia.
I noticed that when Michael Adamski posted his note he mentioned that
Wildflecken was also known as "Durzyn". On a couple of photos I
have, "Durzynie" appears, so being as inquisitive as I am I
asked Michael for an explanation, it follows: --Why "Durzyn"? We
Poles have inclination to re-name places. When most of other nationalities
from Wildflecken departed say at the fall of 1945 and the camp was filled
with about 18 thousand people of Polish nationality to curb the disorder we
had some sort of election in Wildflecken and set our own local government set
on principle of a municipality. Of course it was still subsiervient to
Director of UNRRA and American Military authorities. But internally in the
camp we elected municipal like, our own authorities, police dpemartment,
educational department, etc. There was even some competition to select a
Polish name for our self-proclaimed municipality. And some one (I think Mr.
Janta who was a pre-war writer and member of Polish Parliament if I am not
mistaken) came with the idea to name our town (Wildflecken)
"Durzyn" supposedly for the reason that about 15 hundred years
earlier this part of Germany was settled by Slavic tribe "Durzynow"
perhaps subpart of Luzyczan. How valid was this reasoning I am not sure,
anyway name was accepted, it was written over the building occupied by local
municipal offices and hence for a year or two we lived in Polish town of
Durzyn in middle of Germany." Michael Adamski. Thanks Michael for
sharing that bit of history, janie |

with WWII might have some that were donated. I have seen a small segment
about dp camps on the documentary WW II, A World In Conflict. Also the
Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale University in New Haven,
Connecticut has all of Kathryn Hulme's photo albums,which include pictures
from Wildflecken, Wurzburg, Kleinheubach and Aschaffenburg, 1945-1947. Ms.

only the Polish elites were slated for destruction by the Nazis. But it was
not so: ordinary Polish farmers and workers were systematically destroyed in
concentration camps and in numerous reprisal actions. Thank you for bringing
this to the internet cruisers' attention. |

A very interesting page on a sadly neglected chapter
of history; I have a colleague who is working on the subject, and I will
forward the URL to her. |

My parents were displaced persons elsewhere in
Germany, and I have often tried to find out about the life they lived there.
Your remarkable and moving site has given me much to think about. Thank you. |
