“War against War”: the Anti-War Museum in Berlin, its founder Ernst Friedrich, and his Strategies for Peace in the Weimar Republic
Abstract
Julian Nordhues details the work of Ernst Friedrich (1894-1967), anarchist, pacifist, and founder of the Berlin Anti-War Museum (1925), focusing on his visual strategies of anti-militarist agitation in the Weimar Republic (1919-33). Nordhues highlights how Friedrich’s integration of photographs into political discourse challenged the culture of remembrance in Weimar Germany and exposed the violent underpinnings of state and militarism.
