Book Synopsis
OTTI BERGER (18981944) was one of the most important textile designers of the 20th century. Born in Zmajevac, in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, present-day Croatia, she studied in Zagreb from 19211926 and at the Bauhaus in Dessau from 1927. Leaving her teaching post at the Bauhaus, she set up her own business in Berlin in 1932 to design fabrics for modern interiors throughout Europe. In 1936, she was banned from working due to her Jewish heritage. Attempts to escape to England and the USA failed. She was deported from Croatia to Auschwitz and was murdered there in 1944.

Visual artist and art historian JUDITH RAUM (*1977) has been preoccupied for several years with the Bauhaus textile workshop. Her intensive research in European and North American archives in cooperation with the Bauhaus Archive Berlin, is the first comprehensive study of Berger's scattered estate.
