Film and discussion in the Kleistsaal
After the National Socialists seized power in 1933, Stefan Heym was the youngest literary refugee in Germany to go abroad. His journey took him from Prague via the USA to the GDR.
His widow is preparing to hand over the library he collected during this time to his native city of Chemnitz. In her film, Beate Kunath accompanies her in this work of remembrance. Supplemented by archive footage with Stefan Heym, a double portrait is created that provides insights into Heym's life and work.
The subsequent Q&A session will be moderated by curator Hannah Kretzschmar.
