Claire Berolina
Berlin in the golden 20s. Like no other, the singer and cabaret artist Claire Waldoff found the right words for what the so-called “little people“ thought and felt. Her heartfelt songs with heart and snout triggered storms of enthusiasm and made Claire Waldoff famous. Kurt Tucholsky gave her the nickname "Sparrow of Berlin". With the beginning of the 1930s and the Nazi regime in Germany, the popularity of the Berlin original declined.
