Blame it on the Bauhaus?

by Gail Tanzer

Overview

With its minimalistic approach and emphasis on function before form, the modern Bauhaus School of Art and Design in Dessau, Germany seeks to move the world beyond the ornate styles of the past. When she enters this highly charged atmosphere, Otti Berger enthusiastically looks for her artistic niche. However, because she is a secret Jew in 1920s and 30s Germany, a dark cloud hangs over her love relationship, her joy in creating, and her eventual financial success. While seeking a way out of her precarious position, she tries to figure out how Hitler could win the hearts and minds of so many otherwise good people.
