The Jewish flight from Nazi Germany was one of the largest diasporas the world has ever seen.It sparked an international refugee crisis that changed society and continues to shape our culture and community today.
The lifeline these refugees had was short postcards and letters to let
each other know they were still alive. Many of these were sent from
internment camps established worldwide for the overwhelming number of
asylum seekers.
A remarkable collection of postcards and letters explain the nature
of this worldwide emigration. Little-known internment camps were in
India, New Zealand, Mauritius, Jamaica, Canada and elsewhere.
Shows an insight into how the thousands of refugees fled from Nazi Germany,
but managed to keep their culture and communities alive throughout the
world with their indomitable spirit.
Each postcard is reproduced in full colour - a fascinating resource
for the general reader and for those interested in Jewish or postal
history. There are 150 colour images.
William Kaczynski came to England with his family in 1939 as a refugee
from Nazi Germany. He was interned with his brother and mother for 10
months in Rushen Camp on the Isle of Man.
Co-author Charmian Brinson is Professor of German Studies at Imperial
