Building for a Future
Germany & The National Story
Many Germans enjoy rising prosperity during what becomes known as the "Golden Twenties."
Germany joins the League of Nations, reflecting growing international acceptance and renewed confidence in the country's future.
Although extremist political movements remain on the fringes, underlying social divisions continue to simmer beneath the surface.

Julius and Rose continue to grow closer, but distance and family expectations still limit the time they can spend together.
Julius continues working to establish himself and demonstrate that he can offer the stable future Rose's parents want for their daughter.
As their affection deepens, Julius and Rose begin to consider not only whether they belong together, but what would need to change before a life together could become possible.

By 1926, Germany's recovery seemed increasingly secure. Prosperity returned to many communities, and confidence in the future continued to grow. Yet many of the social tensions created by Germany's defeat in the First World War had not disappeared.
Twin brothers Max (left) and Julius Neuburger (right), still believing their futures would be built in the country they called home.
Germany's admission to the League of Nations symbolized renewed international acceptance and growing confidence in the nation's future.
