They had to be restored to physical health. Then some went home, if they had a home to go to. Many others were put in camps for 'displaced persons and a number went to Israel, and some to the US.

During the early months of 1945, Allied troops found concentration camps all over Europe. There goals were to save as many as they could, although thousands died after liberation.

DP, Displaced Persons camps, were set up and Jews stayed there for a while. In the meantime, they searched for relatives and immigrated.

1. Some of the death camps (in the sense of extermination camps) were destroyed by the Nazis themselves before the Allies reached them - in particular: * Treblinka (grassed over in 1943) * Sobibor (1943-44) * Belzec (1943) * Chelmno (1944) * Maly Trostinets 2. At some camps, especially Auschwitz II, the Nazis blew up the gas chambers and tried to destroy evidence of the Holocaust. 3. Majdanek was the only extermination camp that was taken virtually intact (July 1944) - as the result of a sudden advance by the Soviet Army. 4. Parts of Auschwitz I and II, Buchenwald and Dachau, also Breendonck and Natzweiler have become museums and/or memorial centres. 5. Bergen-Belsen was used for a while as a Displaced Persons' camp.

The Jews after the war became "DPs", Displaced Persons. Some immigrated to Israel, Australia, Britain, or the US. Few returned to their home countries. Many dealt with PTSD after the war.
