Dina & Jovan Rajs: Att vara barn under Förintelsen

Dina and Jovan survived the Holocaust. For many years, they have shared their life stories with young people and in schools. During the autumn half-term holiday, they will visit the museum to talk about what it was like to be a child during the Holocaust.

Dina survived in Hungary, where she and her mother lived under false identities as Christians. Her paternal grandparents survived thanks to Raoul Wallenberg’s protective passports and the so-called Swedish houses. Jovan was separated from his family when he was 8 years old and never saw them again. He lived in hiding but was captured and deported to several different concentration camps before liberation.

Over the years, Dina and Jovan have met thousands of children and young people and told them about their lives. They are also the authors of several books, including Att återvända till livet (2018) and Ting som bär våra minnen (2020).
