Exhibition “Fugitive Hierarchs: Where the Nazis Fled, Who Helped Them and Who Welcomed Them”

Publié le 26 March 2026

Until 30 June 2026 at the Jewish Museum of Bologna

This in-depth documentary investigation into the networks of complicity and the routes that enabled thousands of war criminals to escape international justice after the fall of the Third Reich is on display at the museum. It traces how the Nazis organised their escape, the establishment of networks and the assistance provided, notably by ‘reputable’ international organisations, as well as the ‘welcoming’ destinations for Nazi criminals, particularly in Syria and South America. The exhibition pays tribute to ‘Nazi hunters’ such as Simon Wiesenthal, Serge and Beate Klarsfeld, and the public prosecutor Fritz Bauer.
