Dem Tod entronnen und trotzdem nicht in Freiheit: Ein Ausstellungsprojekt mit Studierenden zum Schicksal aus dem Lager Theresienstadt befreiter jüdischer Gefangener

During the spring semester 2015, 51 Students from the University of Teacher Education St. Gallen participated in the Project « Flight and Asylum » conducted by the « Centre of Democracy Education and Human Rights ». One sub-project dealt with the conceptualization and realization of an exhibition about the saving of 1,200 Jews from the Theresienstadt concentration camp. These refugees arrived in Switzerland on February 7th, 1945, and stayed for some days at the Hadwig school building that is now part of the university’s campus. The complex project promoted a variety of competences amongst the students.
