Explore the untold story of over 200,000 Jewish refugees and Holocaust survivors who sought temporary asylum in post-WWII Germany. Displaced Persons (DP) Camps, established by occupying forces, became sanctuaries for those preparing for new lives in the United States and Israel. OLLI Director and historian Anette Isaacs provides insightful glimpses into the challenges and resilience of Jewish life in immediate post-war Germany, unraveling a lesser-known chapter of history. Join us to discover stories of survival, hope, and the enduring human spirit.
