Images of Children from Postwar Era Displayed at Theodor-Heuss-House
The Theodor-Heuss-House in Stuttgart is hosting a unique exhibition titled "Childhood in the Post-War Period." This special event, which runs until September 28, offers a personal and insightful look into the lives of war children during the years 1945-1955.
Michael-Andreas Wahle, a renowned German collector and exhibition maker specializing in cultural-historical topics, curates this exhibition. Wahle is known for his work on various topics, including childhood in the post-war period.
The exhibition includes 40 photographs from Wahle's collection, showcasing children's experiences during a time when they played in bombed-out houses, stood in line for food, and lived as refugees in wooden barracks. Alongside these poignant images, visitors will find objects and interviews with local eyewitnesses, providing a deeper understanding of the era.
Additionally, the exhibition features contemporary board games that offer a glimpse into the games children played during this period. For those interested in reading more about this era, a reading corner has been set up with well-known children's books from the post-war period.
Admission to the exhibition is free, and no subscription to Staatsanzeiger is necessary to access information about it. The exhibition opens on Friday, June 13, at 6 p.m. at the Theodor-Heuss-House.
