"We Lived ... In the Ninth District" is a showroom exhibition at Berggasse 19, running from November 8, 2025. It features a video installation created by Stephen Naron, Julie Dawson, and Ambrus Hernádi, utilizing resources from the Fortunoff Archive at Yale. The installation presents the harrowing testimonies of four women—Thea S., Edith L., Erika M., and Edith K.—who grew up in the neighborhood of Berggasse 19. They share accounts of their happy childhoods in Vienna, which were abruptly ended by the Anschluss in 1938, leading to lives overshadowed by persecution, expulsion, oppression, and traumatic memories in exile. This powerful exhibition serves as a complement to the special exhibition “Documents of Injustice: The Case of Freud” at the Sigmund Freud Museum.
