Graves of German Exiles

During the 1930s and 1940s, many German Jews and intellectuals fled Nazi Germany. At first many of them moved to neighboring European countries seeking a haven for their religious and political views. As the National Socialists expanded their control throughout Europe, the German exiles were again in grave danger. The exiles found refuge in countries across the globe, often forced to relocate several times for safety. After the end of World War II, many returned to Europe and Germany.

This web site shows the final resting place of some the Germans exiled during these devastating years. This site will continue to expand when additional photographs become available. These photographs were taken in Berlin at the Dorotheen Municipal Cemetery by Marje Schuetze-Coburn and are located in the Feuchtwanger Memorial Library.
