Otti Berger / Judith Raum

This time we will hear textile researcher and artist Judith Raum talk about the Hungarian Bauhaus weaver Otti Berger. Otti’s story is one full of life, happiness, ambition, talent, and a prosperous future. There were so many things for her in the cards. But her life ended tragically and abruptly when she was deported to the concentration camp Auschwitz on 29 May 1944 and was murdered there shortly after. What’s left are letters and postcards, and patents for some of her innovative fabrics.
