Leben Im Exil

This book is based on personal encounters with emigrants from the history of art, almost all of them Jewish. In addition to the history of emigration, it focuses on the handling of art. Meetings have taken place with university teachers and museum curators, with collectors and dealers with the successful, and with those who did not succeed because of the circumstances but still sought some form of existence. The first prerequisite for this book was her own place and date of birth: Prague in 944. What could be said about the German occupation, and what consequences did the situation have for the life of the writer's own family? The second was preparation for her dissertation at the Warburg Institute in London, the German art history institute for emigrants, in 97 /7 .
