An extraordinary history told through postcards and letters provides rare insight into how refugees kept their culture and communities alive throughout the world
Written by a Jewish refugee from Nazi Germany, this unique history and collection of correspondence shows the incredible nature of this worldwide emigration and the indomitable spirit of these Jewish refugees. The Jewish flight from Nazi Germany was one of the largest diasporas the world has ever seen, sparking an international refugee crisis that changed society and continues to shape cultures and communities today. The only lifeline these refugees had was short postcards and letters to let each other know they were still alive. Much of this mail was sent from internment camps which were established worldwide to deal with the overwhelming number of asylum seekers. Each postcard is reproduced in full color, making this a fascinating resource for the general reader, as well as those interested in Jewish history or postal history.
