"Leonard Freed (1929-2006) devoted his career as a Magnum photographer to making sense of a complex world. For over fifty years, Germany offered the American-born Freed a significant and repeated point of departure."

"The German Historical Institute will be displaying An American in Deutschland, an exhibition that draws from Freed's selection of images from his immense archive, as well as unpublished diary-style annotations accompanying many of his photographs. The exhibit explores Postwar German society from Freed’s unique historical vantage point."

"In collaboration with the German Historical Institute, The Ann Loeb Bronfman Gallery will be displaying a number of images from Freed's work on Jews in Germany after World War II."

This Thursday, the JCC will host a lecture with Paul Farber, co-curator of the exhibition "An American in Deutschland." Mr. Farber will be discussing photographer Leonard Freed's interest in the post-war Jewish community of Berlin. There will be a reception following the lecture.
