The Last Swiss Holocaust Survivors
“The Last Swiss Holocaust Survivors”, presented in partnership the Embassy of Switzerland in the United States of America and the Gamaraal Foundation, is a powerful exhibition of photographic portraits and video interviews that give voice to the women and men who built a new life in Switzerland after surviving the Holocaust.
The exhibition centers on large-scale photographic portraits and video interviews of some of the last remaining survivors of the Holocaust. They give a personal dimension to Holocaust history and preserve it for future generations. Those portrayed have family roots in various European countries and today live in the German, the French or the Italian-speaking parts of Switzerland.
The Gamaraal Foundation was founded in 2014 with the objective of giving financial support to poor and needy people, in particular to the few remaining Holocaust survivors living in need.
