Czechs in Denmark

In 2010 I discovered story of 80 Czech Jewish teenagers, who left Czechoslovakia in 1939. They traveled to Denmark, where they lived in foster families all around Denmark. This rescue operatin was organized by Jewish community in Copenhagen and by members of Danske Kvinders Fredskæde. Jewish teens stayed mainly in the countryside and worked at farmhouses as they expected to go to kibutz in British mandate Palestine. In October 1943 these teens escaped to Sweden. This was the moment when they lost connection for decades until I found one of them and started research. I created exhibition about this forgotten story, which includes historical context and individual stories of teens. The exhibition includes 19 panels 70 x 102 cm. Rent free.
