1923
Beneath the Surface
Germany & The National Story
The economic hardships that followed World War I deepened, leaving millions facing uncertainty.
Hyperinflation rendered the German mark nearly worthless. Prices rose so rapidly that wages and savings became almost meaningless, fueling fear and frustration across the country.
Amid the turmoil, Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party attempted to seize power in Munich during the failed Beer Hall Putsch, signaling the growing appeal of extremist politics.
The Neuburger Family
The Neuburger family focuses on family, work, and the routines that had defined life in Binswangen for generations.
The warning signs gradually become harder to ignore. Anti-Jewish insults, hateful pamphlets, and a local baker’s refusal to sell them flour bring prejudice into the family’s everyday life.
Though these incidents seem isolated, they leave the family questioning whether they are signs of something more.
A Moment in Time
The turmoil of 1923 reshaped Germany's economy and politics. Although few recognized its significance at the time, many of the forces that would transform the country were already taking shape.
