Flight and Rescue: Gallery of Photographs, Artifacts, & Testimonies

This special exhibit has been created in collaboration with the US Holocaust Memorial and Museum (Washington, DC) to tell the story of some 2,100 Polish Jews who successfully fled through the Soviet Union to Japan, Shanghai, and beyond before the Holocaust began in 1941. It offers users access to testimonies, photographs, and artifacts, which are browseable and searchable. Owing to the particiaption of Dutch and Japanese diplomats in these escapes, the site also presents exhibition materials in Russian, Dutch, Japanese, and Chinese.
