art of survival - everyday life during the airlift
Eleven months with hardly any electric light or cooking electricity and only a few briquettes - how did the people of West Berlin manage?
The special exhibition looks at everyday inventiveness during the Berlin Blockade of 1948/49.
It tells of vegetables in powder form, school lessons by candlelight, chickens in the living room - and the risk of supplying a city of millions almost entirely from the air.
