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 Dr. Linda Burghardt, Scholar-in-Residence at the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center in New York, to explore how concepts of fashion changed during this explosive period in history and the critical role it played in the Holocaust.

Dr. Burghardt is a journalist and author from New York.  As the daughter of two Holocaust survivors from Vienna, her work has always been guided by her heritage.
