What is Exilmuseum?
A quick overview over the planned Exilmuseum. What will it look like? Where will it be located? And what’s it all about?

Music
“I Will Never Again See the Country I Came From”: Songs from the 1920s and 1930s
Kurt Tucholsky, Bertolt Brecht, Kurt Weill, Friedrich Hollaender, Gerda Kohlmey: they were all prominent figures in Berlin cultural life. But then the Nazis came to power. Those who thought—or sang—differently were systematically driven from the country and fled to an uncertain exile.
The actress and politician Anne Helm sings a homage to the musicians of a time in which political songs became a place of inner freedom. Her program will include selections from The Threepenny Opera, cabaret songs from the Weimar period, anti-fascist songs, and Hanns Eisler’s painful words about exile: “And I will never again see the country I came from again.”
Starting times: 8 pm, 10 pm, duration 20 minutes
