We warmly invite you to the closing event of the international research project “Remapping Refugee Stories” as part of the 2025 commemorative year.
The project shares the lesser-known life stories of 26 survivors of the Holocaust. All of them were persecuted under National Socialism and survived by fleeing. While some were able to use established transit routes, others found unconventional ways to save their lives, often shaped by luck and chance.
