Common Threads:
Holocaust Survivors Who
Built Fashion Careers

Tomorrow,
Tuesday, September 14 at 9:30am on

Berlin boasted a thriving, largely Jewish-owned fashion district that sought to rival Paris in the 1920s and 1930s—before it was destroyed by the Nazis. Leading Jewish designer and trendsetter Norbert Jutschenka owned a successful business there until the Nazis forced him to sell his company for a fraction of its value.

Judith Leiber reinvented herself after surviving the Holocaust. She gave up her goal of studying chemistry and instead built on her experience in a Budapest handbag factory. Leiber created her own American empire, adorning the likes of celebrities and First Ladies with her crystal-studded designer bags.
