- Why was classical music so important to Hitler and Goebbels? The stories of Jewish cellist Anita Lasker-Wallfisch, who survived Auschwitz, and of star conductor Wilhelm Furtwängler, who worked with the Nazis, provide insight. The film centers around two people who represent musical culture during the Third Reich - albeit in very different ways. Wilhelm Furtwängler was a star conductor; Anita Lasker-Wallfisch, the cellist of the infamous Women's Orchestra of Auschwitz. Both shared a love for the classical German music.

Episode: Nolde vs Liebermann. 4. Episode: Caravaggio vs Baglione. 5. Episode: Turner vs Constable.
- The exiled Austro-German musician and composer Artur Schnabel was a giant of his time, but in Germany today he is nearly forgotten. Pianist and Schnabel devotee Markus Pawlik (in collaboration with baritone Dietrich Henschel and the Szymanowski String Quartet) brings Artur Schnabel's greatest compositions back to Berlin with a filmed commemorative concert. Along the way, Pawlik visits the places, landscapes, and history that shaped Schnabel's life and music. "Artur Schnabel: No Place of Exile" rediscovers an essential artist displaced by the catastrophe of the two World Wars and the Holocaust and inspired by the possibilities of modernism.
- From Berlin it takes you 40 kilometers to reach the Liebenberg estate, a picturesque countryside surrounded by lakes and by one of Germany's most beautiful woods. Nowadays Liebenberg houses a training center for executive managers for economy, sciences, politics and sport, run by the DKB Foundation. However, very few know about the changeful history of this place. There would be: the greatest scandal during the reign of Emperor Wilhelm II, the drama of the Rote Kapelle, a semi Jewish tumor scientist appointed by Hitler, Liebenberg as exemplary estate during the GDR years and a village that was supposed to be sold as a whole.
