- June 1940. The day that the photography shop "Foto Esporles" closed its doors definitively, Francesca "Rosseta" could not suspect that she would never see her neighbor again, the photographer Leo Israel Frischer. Leo was part of the large group of European Jews who, fleeing Nazism, arrived in Mallorca during the 1930s. Despite being able to enjoy a relative initial tranquility, in June 1940 most of them received an order of expulsion from Spain. These people, stripped of their nationality, without papers and in many cases without financial resources, will have to flee to "nowhere" through a Europe at war. In THE GERMAN OF THE PHOTOGRAPHY SHOP we will accompany the "esporlerí" Leo Frischer in his desperate flight. He will be the common thread of our history: we will travel from Hamburg to Tangier, from Esporles to the concentration camp of Miranda de Ebro and Wales ... On the way we will address the social, legal and personal reality of the Jewish refugees in Mallorca over the years of the Second World War.
