Hello Andris, I am researching the life of my Estonian neighbor, Silvia Narma, who lived in the Memmingen camp for a few months in 1945/46. Much of what I have read about the DP camps overall does not provide much detail about the specifics of Memmingen. Of course, I would like to learn more. Can you recommend any resources, (books, personal histories or websites) I may have overlooked about Memmingen in particular. I only have a short written paragraph by Silvia about the camp, which describes, a bit of her frustration with living in a barracks, but nothing more specific aside from the photograph taken by the Apinis family at this web address: https://cv.vic.gov.au/stories/creative-life/the-apinis-loom/memming.... - Angela
