50 years of the Berlin Senate's visiting program for victims of Nazi persecution
On June 10, 1969, the West Berlin Senate decided to invite former Berliners who had been driven into exile by National Socialist persecution to visit Berlin. Around 35,000 people accepted this invitation over the decades.
