Camps: In Hannover, Germany, Land Niedersachsen (British). As far as I can tell, there were four civilian factories where the slave labor worked for the Nazis. This camp seems to have been named after the street it was on.

Thanks Olga, for helping archive info about DP camps and life.
I was born in Hannover and lived with parents and other relatives in the Schulenburg camp, outside of Hannover. My family was there for about seven years; we emigrated in 1952 to US. I asked my Dad and he says it's: Schulenburg--not Schulenburger; and he did not work in any factories during his stay; from 1949 to 1951. He remembers it as a small camp of a few or couple hundred people. It was former German-soldier training camp with barracks and bunkers. Here are my photos from camp.
Thanks, again, Vera Otasevic Scroggins veraduerga@yahoo.com
