Hannah Arendt’s essay – We Refugees – was published in 1943, after she and her family escaped to New York following the Nazi occupation of France. Arendt details the personal trauma of exile and forced migration and reads the refugee as a product of the limitations of the nation state. However, the exile, the émigré, the refugee, has a history much older than any particular mode of political organisation.
Originally available during a special Saturday opening, we've extended the run of our Museum trail, We Refugees.
Join the University of Cambridge Museums team and the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology for a hands-on tour to highlight artefacts unearthed from our local region, offering a connection to the history and heritage of our community.
