For the first time, the Monacensia in the Hildebrandhaus dedicated a solo exhibition to the life and work of Erika Mann (1905–1969), the eldest daughter of Katia and Thomas Mann. After its launch in Munich in October 2019, the exhibition can be viewed at other venues, including the German National Library in Frankfurt am Main. The exhibition „Erika Mann: Comedian – War Correspondent – Political Speaker“ (October 11, 2019, to September 13, 2020) tells the story of the life and work of Erika Mann (1905–1969), placing her consistent advocacy for freedom and democracy at the forefront.
