Images of Refuge

This collection of letters and documents records the period of time that Sister Margaret Jane Kling, Sister Andrea Nenzel, and others served in El Salvador with the Jesuit Refugee Service, living and working with refugees in San Jose Calle Real. Sponsored by the Archdiocese of San Salvador, the camp initially served about 100 refugees, the population later swelling to over 700 during its peak. A remarkable historical record, it also highlights how little has changed for refugees in war-torn countries.
