After the outbreak of war in 1914 , the family with eight children fled the Russian front and came via Auschwitz to Berlin in the Scheunenviertel , where the father was able to gather a community around him again.

Emigrants such as Erwin Geschonneck , Gerhard Hinze and Friedrich Richter also played in the Kleist play Der zerbrochne Krug , Liebmann moderated the play with German, Yiddish or Russian announcements and otherwise took care of the theater group's performance contracts with the collective farms.

Sender . Hinze staged Chekhov's marriage proposal and The Bear with the troupe .
