2/8: The rise of Nazi Germany and its aggression led to general persecution, forcing many individuals, particularly Jews (around 300.000), to escape their homelands. Many embarked on difficult journeys, facing numerous obstacles in their search for refuge and protection. #WW2

3/8: Countries like the US, Great Britain, and other Allied powers played a significant role in providing sanctuary to those fleeing the war and persecution. However, restrictive immigration policies and bureaucratic hurdles often hindered their efforts. #RefugeesWelcome

4/8: The ⛴️MS St. Louis, was a tragic chapter in history. It was a German ocean liner that set sail in 1939 carrying Jewish refugees seeking asylum from Nazi persecution. Despite their desperate pleas, the ship was denied entry by multiple countries, including the US and Cuba.

6/8 Other consequence: Evacuation and internal displacement. As the war broke out, the Soviet government implemented large-scale evacuations to protect civilians from the advancing German forces. Millions of people, including women, children, and the elderly, were relocated.

7 /8: Post-War Resettlement: After the war, efforts were made to facilitate the return of refugees to their pre-war homes. However, the scale of destruction and displacement meant that many individuals had no homes or communities to return to.

8/8: Let us not forget the human faces behind the statistics and headlines. Each refugee has a unique story, dreams, and hopes for a better future. Together, we can work towards a world that embraces compassion, empathy, and opens doors for those seeking refuge. #WelcomeRefugees
