ORT (Organization for Rehabilitation through Training) ran rehabilitation programs for DPs after World War II. After the founding of the State of Israel these were supplemented by training programs in Israel itself. Between 1946 and 1949 the organization trained more than 22,000 Jewish DPs between the ages of 18 and 55 at ist vocational training centers. A wide variety of different skilled trades could be learned at the centers: from tailoring and mechanics to photography. Today, ORT is a worldwide vocational training network which is specifically geared to Jewish students. The ORT Headquarters Munich were located at Möhlstrasse 10.
