Germany, Year Zero is a portrait of an obliterated Berlin, seen through the eyes of a twelve-year-old boy. Living in a bombed-out apartment building with his sick father and two older siblings, young Edmund is mostly left to wander unsupervised, getting ensnared in the black-market schemes of a group of teenagers and coming under the nefarious influence of a Nazi-sympathizing ex-teacher. Germany, Year Zero is a daring, gut-wrenching look at the consequences of fascism, for society and the individual.

The German American Heritage Center and Museum and @thelastpichouse are happy to present, “The Lost Years of German Cinema” every Wednesday this September. Check out the full schedule and get tickets through our website or this direct link: https://events.humanitix.com/film-series-at-the-last-picture-house-q2b9u4zv

Deutschland to Davenport Part 6! Did you know we have some pieces in the museum's collection made from hair? Yes, human hair. 💇‍♀️
In the Victorian period, it was fairly common to use hair to make keepsake items of loved ones or memorials after a loved one has passed. These were as simple as watch chains and elaborate as full sized framed wreaths that are works of art. 
As photography became more accessible and popular, the hair work fell out of practice. Now, some people find it "creepy" but others appreciate the work and detail that went into these pieces.
What mementos do you keep from your loved ones?
