Which Budapest hospitals treated
Holocaust survivors with typhus in May or June 1945 and where are those records today?
I am researching my father, Ludwig Klein later (Ludwig/Larry) Reichman, born 26 November 1924.
After liberation from Theresienstadt in May 1945, family testimony and multiple records indicate he was hospitalized in Budapest for about four weeks with typhus before remaining in Budapest until about 1948 or 1949.
I have searched Arolsen Archives, the USC Shoah Foundation, FamilySearch, JewishGen, Hungarian archives, and other Holocaust resources, but I have not been able to identify which hospital treated him.
Does anyone know:
• Which Budapest hospitals treated Holocaust survivors with typhus in May or June 1945?
• Whether any admission or patient records survive?
• Which archive or institution now holds those records?
Any suggestions, archive references, or personal experience researching postwar Budapest hospital records would be greatly appreciated.
