Appendix 6 Description of Life on
an Ordinary Day in a DP Camp in
West Germany
Camp X lies very close to the woods and away from the populated points. The
nearest village is at a distance of 2 km from the camp. The camp consists of 19 old
wooden barracks. The barracks for Germans are divided into small rooms, but the
barracks for foreigners are merely the dormitory type. Let's take for example the
room in which I live. This is a large room (one quarter of the barrack). There are
11 double decker beds in one room and in every bed there is an old cotton
mattress and 3 thin blankets. They give us no bed sheets, and we have to sleep
directly on the mattress. There are 22 people in our room. All are foreign DPs -
Ukrainians from Poland, Ukrainians from Russia, Poles. The representatives of
every nationality gather in one of the corners and tell each other stories, or about
their experiences.
Speaking of myself, I get up no earlier than 10 o'clock. There is no sense in
getting up earlier - it's cold in the barracks and there is absolutely no comfort.
After getting up I calmly proceed to do my morning toilet. When I am washed
and shaved it's already time for lunch. What we have [sic] for lunch? The first
course - some soup from pea powder or pearl-barley; the second - four potatoes
boiled without being peeled, some sauerkraut on a little piece of blood sausage.
After my lunch I lie down on my bed for half an hour. After that I get up and go to
the other barrack where the other families are living, to listen to the radio. There I
stay until supper, that is, till 6 o'clock. For supper we have 200 grams of bread
with pork fat or butter, a small piece of cheese or sausage, and black coffee.
After having eaten I play chess or cards, and when I get a newspaper or a book
no matter in which language it is: Russian, Polish or even German, I read until 9
or 10 o'clock in the evening. After that I go once more to listen to the Voice of
America program and at 11 or 11:30 go to bed.
And so goes my daily life. There is no place to go. Four kilometers from us is a
little town, Scheinfeld, where a movie may be seen. But I can afford it very seldom
for lack of money. Nine marks of so-called taschegeld should be spared very
accurately for purchases of tobacco and stamps. There is no possibility of earning
some money. The life is dull and aimless!
