Home and Exile:
Jewish Emigration from Germany since 1933
Exhibition Catalog
Home and Exile was the first comprehensive show to examine the forced exodus of German Jews to more than a hundred countries worldwide. The richly illustrated catalog has a biographical focus. Where did the emigrants find refuge? Under what conditions? What were their lives like in the countries that took them in?
The catalog documents a variety of biographies and escape routes. These took the emigrants from Germany to destinations as remote as Shanghai and the Dominican Republic – and in some cases brought them back to Germany again after 1945. Different aspects of emigration are explored, together with the emotional and geographical meanings of “home.” Taking the perspective of the emigrants, a separate section introduces each of the more than one hundred countries that served as way-stations or final destinations. This historical atlas provides a unique glimpse at the worldwide diaspora of German Jews that dispersed over seventy years ago.
