On the afternoon of 25 September 1940,
the Jewish German writer Walter
Benjamin headed south from a small
French seaside town into the Pyrenees.
In ill health and poorly equipped for
the peaks, he risked all in hope of safety
- and paid the ultimate price. He was
just one of thousands of Jewish people
who undertook perilous mountain
crossings to evade capture, internment
and murder by the Nazis in the Second
World War.
