After the Reichstag fire on 27/28 February 1933, many people fled Germany. Most of them applied for asylum in the French capital. If you walk through Paris today with open eyes, you can still discover traces of these German emigrants. Before German scholar Ute Lemke (Université Savoie Mont Blanc) invites you on a photographic walk, she explains the historical context. Who were the exiles and how were they received in France?
