Endstation Kaunas. Die Deportation von Jüdinnen und Juden im Herbst 1941

In November 1941, the National Socialists began the annihilation of German Jewish women and men with the systematic deportations. The project #LastSeen collects photographs of the Nazi deportations and publishes them in a digital picture atlas. On the occasion of the 85th anniversary of the first deportations from Munich to Kaunas in Lithuania, a symposium is devoted to the history of this transport as well as further transports from Vienna, Berlin and Breslau to Kaunas. Together we will discuss what the surviving photographs tell us about the transports, which gaps exist, how we identify the people in the photographs, and how we can use the images in educational work.
