- Summary
- Ninety-nine per cent of the Danish Jews survived the Holocaust, and that story is world famous. However, the consequences which the roundup of the Danish Jews in October 1943 had after the war are far less well-known. The Danish Jewish Museum intends now to rectify this with its most ambitious effort since the museum's opening in 2004. The point of departure for the exhibition is the period following the liberation of Denmark on May 4, 1945, during which the Danish Jews returned home to Denmark. They had had widely varying experiences. The experiences of returning home were likewise varied: some had lost everything, others returned to an intact home. The return was also a reunion for families that had been split by exile and deportation, and families whose children had been hidden in Denmark after October 1943. Returning home meant learning of the Nazi extermination camps, worries about the fate of family and friends and dealing with traumatic experiences and grief. Exhibition: Danish Jewish Museum, Copenhagen, Denmark (2013-2016).
Om danske jøders krigsoplevelser fortalt gennem bl.a. personlige fotos og genstande - både den lyse fortælling om redningen, fristedet i Sverige og den ofte mørkere personlige fortælling om eksil og deportation.
