A photographic study of history and migration, identity and belonging, trauma and healing. A documentary project about the first generation of Jewish children who were born in the displaced persons camp Bergen-Belsen in Germany after 1945. On the occasion of the UN International Day of Holocaust Remembrance on January 27th, 2020, an excerpt of the project was shown for the first time during the group exhibition 5rooms and at the Ahlem Memorial Museum in Hanover, Germany.

The corresponding photobook The Children of Bergen-Belsen will be published by Kehrer Verlag in October 2023. For further information you can reach me at mail (at) mariaklenner.com.
