Where even is Kenya? - this was the question posed by the majority of Jewish refugees before being cast into the East African British colony 1933 onwards. While often the last hope it was seldom their destination of choice. A few hundred were successful in their flight to Kenya despite the lack of willingness of colonial authorities to admit them to the country. But how is one to survive in an agrarian-oriented sparsely populated country whose languages are just as foreign as are the customs modes of life climatic conditions and health risks? What options were available to refugees who were prohibited from practising their professions regardless of whether as medics lawyers or merchants?Answers to these questions were found on a search for former 'Kenyans' that spanned continents the putting together of fragments of this 'Kenyan' network like mosaics and numerous conversations with contemporary witnesses who narrated their experiences for the first time. In view of the historical context these tough obstacle-fraught battles are made visible: the search for new identities the reclaiming of self-worth the conquering of social recognition. Lastly it is shown how much life in Kenya shaped lives in the short and long-term.
