An entire life in a hatbox

NS-Dokumentationszentrum, Koln

The exhibits from Bertha Sander's estate tell the story of a life that was rich in contrast. It began in Cologne and Vienna as a joyful, cosmopolitan, emancipated life and ended in constrained circumstances and embittered in London and southern England. These personal documents and objects come from all over Europe - Cologne, London, Spa, Davos, Paris, Venice, Vienna and Athens. They lead to well-known contemporary artists such as the designer Dagobert Peche (Wiener Werkstatten until 1923) and the Austrian architect Philipp Hausler. Bertha Sander kept and cherished many personal documents, photos, works of her own, publications and memorabilia, preserving them despite her numerous moves and her emigration to England. She kept important documents and photos in a hatbox. After the exhibition, these objects will be donated to the NS-Dokumentationszentrum as a private narrative of the life of this Jewish designer that began 110 years ago in Cologne. Press conference: Thursday 7, November 2013, 11am. Image: Bertha Sander, Bluse aus einem Seidenstoff der Wiener Werkstatte, um 1921.
