Film presentation English
version, German subtitles
Between 1934 an 1942, 526 Austrians fled from fascism and National Socialism to Colombia, which had been a haven for refugees who fled the Austrian civil war in the 1930ies. The majority of those immigrants were Jews, who escaped after the “Anschluss”, the annexation of Austria into Nazi Germany, to South America. Most of them reached Colombia via the seaport Barranquilla. There and in the capital Bogotá, they found a new homeland, established companies, and built up a living. The film presents personal destinies of those emigrants with archive material and contemporary interviews. 526 is dedicated to all those Austrians, who had to leave their home country and to those many, who were not able to escape.
