Until 27 April 2025 at the Jewish Museum Berlin
In the early 1960s, Leonard Freed, a Jewish American photographer, went to West Germany to discover post-war German Judaism, taking numerous photographs. The work was mainly carried out in Frankfurt and Düsseldorf, with the aim of giving Germans a better understanding of the Jewish minority living discreetly in the country. 52 of these photos were published in 1962. Much later, they were purchased from the photographer’s widow to form part of the museum’s collections. This is the first exhibition to present the entire body of work.
