ESCAPE OVER THE MOUNTAINS TO THE PRÄTTIGAU

Jews, mainly from Vienna; anti-Nazis from socialist and communist circles; Greek forced laborers; members of the Wehrmacht on home leave; young people—female students, leaders of youth organizations, and those conscripted into German military service: Fear for their lives drives them from the Montafon region across the mountain passes into the Prättigau, after their escape routes through the St. Gallen Rhine Valley have been cut off. Traveling along dangerous paths and often under dramatic circumstances, they thus reach Switzerland.
175 men and women seeking safety and freedom beyond the mountains.
