Abstract

Two things permeated Berlin in summer 2014: the heat—air conditioning remains a rarity in the German capital—and the memory of the First World War. Museums, libraries, art galleries, and cultural institutes cast a wide net of exhibitions across the city. Even for a centennial, their number and variety surprised: the First World War in children’s literature, in photography, in Latin America, in music, in the media of coin and medal, in early sound recordings, in surrealist art.
