"If you ask me where my home is, then I have to tell you: I don't know".

This quote from Sonja Berg probably describes her eventful life most impressively. The three emigrations mean regularly leaving a piece of home behind. Her traces lead from her Russian hometown of St. Petersburg via Berlin and Johannesburg in South Africa to Bonn. She spent the last 30 years of her life in the former German capital.

The exhibition uses fascinating original documents in the collection of the Bonn City Archive to shed light on the fascinating life story of Sonja Berg and her family. It shows the connection with world history and the effects of the - still current - topics of persecution and exile.
An exhibition by Daniel Becker in cooperation with the Stadtmuseum Bonn, the Stadtarchiv und Stadthistorische Bibliothek and the Gedenkstätte und NS-Dokumentationszentrum.
