 Since the Austrian authorities refused to accept any people before their Austrian origin was proven and since the Czech authorities in Brno considered the return of Germans to Brno as politically unacceptable, the Czechoslovak Ministry of Interior decided that the group of approximately 10,000 Germans had to stay in Pohořelice and surrounding villages, where significant German minorities were already accommodated.As the Pohořelice camp was abandoned more than a month before, there was no opportunity to provide proper housing, food and health care for thousands of people.Not until 5 June was proper camp administration established and regular food supply provided.
