Built on the site of a camp for German World War II refugees, a new Danish museum shines fresh light on personal stories of forced migration, past and present.

The new FLUGT ("flee" in Danish) Refugee Museum of Denmark, in the small town of Oksbol on Jutland's west coast near the German border, focuses primarily on German refugees, as well as others who have come to Denmark over the years.
