Broken biographies

Historian Juliane Wetzel talks about German Jews in China and the USA after their escape from the “Third Reich”. Afterwards, descendants will talk about the exile experience in their family memories: Daphna Berman, whose grandfather was a cattle trader and built up a dairy farm in the USA, and Adina Stern, whose father Hellmut Stern fled to China and returned to his hometown in 1961 as first violinist of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. It will be moderated by historian Stefanie Fischer.
