Fleeing terror at home, searching for safety and shelter. During the Holocaust, European Jews cried out to the world for help, desperate to escape Nazi persecution. Without legal protection, their lives hung in the balance. Some were granted refuge in foreign countries with an unfamiliar language, new customs, and limited opportunities. Most found nowhere to turn.
Today, war, genocide, and mass atrocities are forcing millions of people around the world from their homes. Often separated from their loved ones, they face an uncertain future. In observance of World Refugee Day, learn more from Museum experts about the plight of refugees during the Holocaust and today.

Oh, I read that book. Last year maybe. May all these refugees find a new safe haven. Many take their love with them, it’s all they have. Pictures of them, fleeing with their children, and their pets, pictures the world hoped never to see again. The world must learn to live together or else we are doomed as a species. How G-D must cry for his children . It is humanity that causes this , and other, disasters – not heaven 🙏🙏🙏🙏👵👵👵🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
