ROTHSCHILD HOSPITAL DISPLACED PERSONS CAMP
The Rothschild Hospital was a DP (displaced persons) hospital in the Vienna district, in the American occupied zone of Austria. The hospital was named after its founder, Baron Anselm von Rothschild. It opened in 1873 and was the hospital of the Israelitische Kultusgemeinde in Vienna until it was closed by the Nazis in 1943.
fter World War II, the Rothschild Hospital reopened to serve displaced persons. The Kultusgemeinde maintained the institution. The American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee complimented the organization’s work with further assistance in terms of food, and other needs.
The Rothschild Hospital was primarily concerned with the rehabilitation of sick DPs. It also served as a lager for political prisoners and as a hostel for 600 refugees.
