The Danube Exodus: The Rippling Currents of the River—by Péter Forgács and The Labyrinth Project March 15, 2009 - August 02, 2009 This immersive installation interweaves the historical narratives of Eastern European Jews and Germans fleeing in opposite directions along the Danube River, in an effort to escape the horrors of World War II. This interactive exhibition forces us to compare what Hungarian filmmaker and scholar Péter Forgács calls "the incomparable duet of the German-Jewish exodus."
