After the liberation – perspectives on the end of the war in Lichtenberg

to | Museum Lichtenberg im Stadthaus

The end of the war in the spring of 1945 in Berlin cannot be summarized in a single term. A central narrative is the liberation from National Socialism through the costly advance of the Red Army.



But alongside the image of battle, conquest, and destruction, violence, misery, insecurity, and guilt also shaped the reality of life in those days – as did the attempt to make a new beginning under difficult conditions.


  • How did the people of Lichtenberg experience this time of upheaval?
  • What hopes, fears, and worries shaped their everyday lives?
  • And what expectations did they associate with the end of Nazi rule?
