This photo project makes an important contribution to documenting into a chapter of German post-war history that is still little known today
In her first monograph, Maria Klenner focuses on the fates of 2,000children who were born immediately after the end of the Second World War
in the displaced persons camp set up by the Allies in Bergen-Belsen.
Over the course of more than eight years, a valuable collection of
twenty-six portraits and eyewitness accounts by descendants of Holocaust
survivors was created. Combined with archival material and historical
images, this sensitive study sheds light on questions of history and
migration, identity and belonging, trauma and new beginnings--questions
that are as relevant today as they ever were.
