“Berlin is a city with a past, a present, and a future. For people who carry on—in spite of everything! Berlin is Zille’s milieu and the Europa-Center, the barrel organ and the urban highway. When the situation gets serious, even humor is taken seriously. Berlin, the city of art, music, literature, theater, cabaret, the entertainment scene, the high society, the demi-monde, and the gray tenement blocks with their bleak back-alley atmosphere—the city of aristocrats, industrialists, speculators, the nouveau riche, proletarians, prostitutes, pimps, and crooks. Berlin—city of mass emotions and eccentrics, a hub for the genuine and the fake.” (Katja Ebstein)

Katja is political, Berlin is political. In the ’20s and ’30s. Before the Wall was built and after. Familiar names emerge: Otto Reutter, Kurt Tucholsky, Bertolt Brecht, Günter Neumann, Walter Mehring, Friedrich Hollaender, Claire Waldoff, Siegfried Rabe, Wolf Biermann, Konstantin Wecker … to name just a few!
