Unpacking Exile: When everything is taken away … then what?

After decades of collecting, preserving, curating, and providing access to its rich archives, the Leo Baeck Institute is responding to the passing of the survivor generation with a podcast focused on storytelling. Each episode of Exile tells the story of someone forced to grapple with the loss of home, culture, language, security, or family due to Nazi persecution.

In this exhibition, LBI presents eight of the twelve stories from the first season of Exile alongside a selection of the archival sources that preserve them.
