"From help to self-help" was the motto of an almost forgotten German-Jewish self-help organization, Emigrant Self-Help in Stockholm. It existed from 1938 to 1964, shaped the lives of refugees, and enriched Stockholm's cultural life with its events. Using numerous photos, annotated documents, and short biographies of the most important protagonists, this volume is the first to describe its history.
