The presenters came to Germany as teenagers from Syria and Afghanistan. Due to their own experiences of flight, exclusion and new beginnings, they find they are able to personally relate to aspects of German-Jewish history presented in the core exhibition and through the Libeskind architecture. Using German Sign Language, they present their impressions in four thematic modules.
