"Flight and Rescue"

This 6,000 square foot exhibit by means of dramatic displays and photographic reproductions chronicles the route across Eastern Europe and Asia of 2,100 Polish refugees living in Lithuania, who made the trek to a safe haven in Japan and for some to China during World War II. These large photo screen wall graphics and digital reproductions showed the extraordinary circumstances and the individuals' actions that enabled them to survive. Our floor and wall mounted conservation cases housed papers and historical artifacts of the refugees. Audio-visuals recount the stories and recollections of survivors. These films and testimonies enable the visitors to have a better understanding of their flight.
