80 years ago, in 1941, in Bern, Switzerland, Polish diplomats, in cooperation with Jewish circles, launched the so-called 'passport initiative' to save Jews from the Holocaust. Aleksander Ładoś and others known as Ładoś Group, issued fake passports and citizenship certificates for Latin American countries saving so many from being sent to death camps.

Lambeth Libraries are grateful to the Pilecki Institute for bringing this unique exhibition, on the work of the Ładoś Group, to London.
