The exhibition at the Mitte Museum is dedicated to the writer and journalist Susanne Kerckhoff (1918–1950), one of the defining voices of Germany’s early post-war period. Between 1948 and 1949, Kerckhoff published a series of fictional portraits in the Berliner Zeitung that addressed pressing questions facing post-war society: guilt, denazification, antisemitism, and democracy. For the first time, the exhibition offers a comprehensive exploration of this body of work while asking what these texts can tell us about Germany today.
