A Story of Loss and Remembrance

How did a Jewish family who fled Vienna for Norway in 1938 end up being deported and murdered just a few years later?

This online exhibition tells a story of escape, hope, and belonging — and how archive can preserve traces of lives silenced by genocide. Through archival records, we gain insight into flight, migration, and extermination — and how possessions, memories, and futures were lost. Please explore the exhibition and discover a story that still resonates today.
