Traces of Jewish life in the barn quarter of the golden 20s
No clichés, no romanticism: we go into the Jewish Berlin of the 1920s.
In the Scheunenviertel and the Spandauer Vorstadt, we trace the places where long-established German Jews met the new Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe who were looking for a new home in Berlin as a result of war, famine and expulsion.
We discover the colorful mosaic of theaters, stores, schools, clubs and synagogues in which the lives of these people took place.
We learn about the Scheunenviertel pogrom of 1923 and the defensive self-defense of Jewish war veterans. And we get to know personalities such as the poet Mascha Kaleko and the social worker Siegfried Lehmann, who were among the protagonists of this vibrant Jewish culture.
