Theme of the exhibition
At the age of eight, Shaul Ladany and his family were deported from Hungary to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1944. He was one of the few Jewish prisoners who were rescued as a result of negotiations between Hungarian and Swiss Jewish organisations and the Schutzstaffel SS ("Protection Squadron") and allowed to leave for Switzerland in December 1944. Shaul Ladany later emigrated to Israel and became a well-known scientist and sportsman. As a walker, he took part in the Olympic Games in Munich and survived the attack by the Palestinian terrorist group on the Israeli team on 5 September 1972.
Shaul Ladany has a large collection of original documents relating to his persecution under National Socialism. Supplemented by information on the German occupation in Serbia and Hungary as well as on the rescue efforts of the Hungarian Zionist Rudolf Kasztner and the new beginning of the survivors in the newly founded state of Israel, these documents are being presented to the public for the first time.
