The American photographer Leonard Freed travelled to Germany for
the first time in 1954. Curious and yet from a safe distance, he
observed the people in their social surroundings, at work, at
street festivals, in public parks, in the streets and against the
industrial backdrop of the Ruhr Valley. The Germany he saw was
deeply cursed with the effects of war and the NS regime - despite
the country's reconstruction, industrial development and economic
success. Freed published his extensive report Made in Germany for
the first time with Grossman Publishers in New York in 1970. The
present reprint accompanies the same-named exhibition at Museum
Folkwang in Essen and comes with a booklet providing extra
information about Freed's approach and his times. The booklet also
contains hitherto unpublished images, documents, and writing by
Freed, spanning his fifty years of photographing Germany.
