Children in exile
9/6/2024 – 11/1/2024

The exhibition focuses on the experiences of children who had to go into exile with their parents between 1933 and 1945. Curator Gesine Bey uses facsimiles of photos, letters and documents from the Academy Archives to tell the stories of the children of Walter Benjamin, Bertolt Brecht and Helene Weigel, Anna Seghers, Alfred Kerr and others. The challenges faced in exile are similar to those faced by countless children on the run today.
