Getting Away from War and Communism
While she was on her fellowship in the ERC project “GLORE”, the historian and curator Sarah Grandke worked on an online storymap to make an outstanding private photo collection accessible to a wider audience. The photos show the lives of Polish Displaced Persons and their journey from a camp in Bavaria to Australia. See full storymap here.
