October 2006Heimat und Exil
Emigration der deutschen Juden nach 1933
by Stiftung Jüdisches Museum Berlin, Stiftung Haus der Geschichte der Bundesrepublik Deutschland
Flucht, Vertreibung und Neuanfang der deutschen Juden nach 1933 sind das Thema einer großen Ausstellung des Jüdischen Museums Berlin in Kooperation mit dem Haus der Geschichte in Bonn. Erstmals wird der erzwungene Exodus der deutschen Juden in weltweit über hundert Länder in einer Gesamtschau vor Augen geführt. Der reich illustrierte Begleitband ist wie die Ausstellung biographisch ausgerichtet. Dokumentiert werden vielfältige Flucht- und Lebenswege, die von Deutschland aus bis nach Shanghai oder in die Dominikanische Republik führten und, nach 1945, in einzelnen Fällen auch wieder zurück. Wo konnten die Emigranten unter welchen Bedingungen Zuflucht finden? Wie hat sich ihr Leben in den Zufluchtsländern gestaltet? Unterschiedliche Facetten der Exilerfahrung sowie der emotionalen und geographischen Verortung von »Heimat« werden in den Blick genommen. Zudem wird in einem gesonderten Teil jedes der über hundert Transit- und Aufnahmeländer aus der Perspektive der Emigranten vorgestellt – dieser historische Atlas eröffnet einen einzigartigen Zugang zu der vor über siebzig Jahren sich begründenden deutsch-jüdischen Diaspora in aller Welt.
