In May of 2016 my wife Barbara and I participated in this program by the Berlin Senate and the experience far exceeded our expectations. I had applied a long time ago but until recently thought it no longer existed. Years ago it dealt with large groups of people on chartered flights and buses. But sadly the number of qualifying Holocaust survivors is diminishing rapidly. This year perhaps six individuals will participate, which allows customizing the experience to meet the special interests as well as any physical constraints of the attendees.
A short note on our experience with Berlin’s Emigrantenprogramm
