Weimar Kabarett
This is the era that defines Berlin Cabaret: a brilliant flash of artistic adventurousness before the oppression of the Nazi regime. Ute Lemper presents the original stars of that era and plays recordings from leading modern interpreters of the repertoire.
Berlin Without Walls: The Homecoming
We view the Berlin Philharmonic within the context of Nazi Germany, through the story of Jewish violinist Hellmut Stern. Stern, who fled Germany at the start of the war, returned to his homeland afterwards to join the Philharmonic — under former Nazi party member Herbert von Karajan.
