Book "LebensBilder"

During the first Corona Lockdown in 2020, the idea arose to write a book about people who had lived in the Jewish DP camp Föhrenwald after the Second World War. Then began an intensive phase of conception and realisation of the work "LebensBilder - Portraits of life in the Jewish DP-camp Föhrenwald".

34 eyewitnesses, 15 authors, 5 translators, a 4-person editorial team and a photographer worked creatively and purely voluntarily hand in hand for months to publish this book. In addition, there are many years of preparatory work that went into this project. In the short videos below, authors and translators talk about our extraordinary book project and introduce you to contemporary witnesses.
