When Art, Culture & Politics Collide
Fashion and Forbidden Style in the Holocaust

Presented by Dr. Linda Burghardt, Scholar-in-Residence, Holocaust Memorial & Tolerance Center

Berlin in the early ‘30s was second only to Paris as the undisputed capital of the European fashion world, run by Jews and recognized the world over as a major center for style and innovation in the clothing trade. But Hitler had different ideas. With his swift, brutal takeover of all facets of life in Germany, the new Nazi culture not only stole the industry from the Jews, it forced its ideology onto the fashion of the day. Join us as we take a look at how concepts of fashion changed during this explosive period in history and the critical role it played in the Holocaust.
