Home evening in Berg: singing, feelings and history. Josef Brustmann (70) gave the people of Bergen a hometown evening in the best sense of the word.

The award-winning cabaret artist, musician and singer also played the zither, including setting an Oskar Maria Graf poem to music. For a long time he was not aware that his home town of Waldram, where he moved in 1957 at the age of three with his parents and six siblings, was the largest European reception camp for Jews.
