Fluchtatlas

Description

Escape and asylum are interesting and highly topical subjects. In contrast to a conventional atlas the Fluchtatlas does not represent freedom, but the unfree human beings who are forced to leave their homes. Through the chapters “Heimat” (Home), “Flucht” (Escape) and “Schutz” (Protection), the reader is taken along the refugees’ almost endless journey to freedom. Clear graphics explain the dimension of the problem, emotional imagery and individual cases bring the plight of the refugees to life. The Fluchtatlas is an extraordinary book project that uses the neutral language of an atlas to describe complex political problems, without neglecting the human element. Insightful and moving.
