The DP camp actually consisted of several camps (Polish "obóz"). The main camp (Camp 400) and the administration were located in Ebensee. The former concentration camp and two former forced labour camps were used as accommodation. The main camp was divided into numbered camp sections ("oddział" in Polish). The numbers 1 (camp administration) to 35 (numbers 26 to 30 were not assigned) each designated a camp section or barrack complex. It was not unusual to move between camp sections - as here from No. 11 to No. 4. 

In addition to the main camp, there were other camp complexes in and around Ebensee. The "Lodz 2" camp housed families with children and married couples. Around a fifth of the registered DPs were temporarily or permanently housed in the more distant branch camp in Lambach and in the military hospitals in Bad Ischl and Bad Goisern.

A spatial separation of Jewish and non-Jewish DPs is not recognisable from the early index cards. It was not until December 1945 that Jewish DPs were accommodated in a separate DP camp (Camp 406 "Golden Cross", Bad Ischl) after non-Jewish DPs had attacked Jewish DPs.
