Czech term or phrase: sběrny tábor

není to koncentrák, (kde se může taky jít na smrt), ale tábor kde se po válce shromažďovali ztracenci a čekali na návrat domů (nechci použít “concentration camp")
napadá mne toho dost ale zajímá mne názor ostatních

displaced persons camp (DP) camp

Explanation:
A displaced persons camp or DP camp is a temporary facility for displaced persons coerced into forced migration. The term is mainly used for camps established after World War II in West Germany and in Austria, as well as in the United Kingdom, primarily for refugees from Eastern Europe – the majority of them being Jews – and for the former inmates of the Nazi German concentration camps. Even two years after the end of World War II in Europe, some 850,000 people still lived in DP camps across Western Europe, among them Armenians, Poles, Latvians, Lithuanians, Estonians, Yugoslavs, Greeks, Ukrainians and Czechoslovaks.[1]
