Reviews for Beyond the Bauhaus: Cultural Modernity in Breslau, 1918-33 (Social History, Popular Culture, and Politics in Germany)
“Our lack of understanding of the cultural landscape of Breslau and itsrelationship to other key institutions and ideas of the Weimar Republicmeans that we’ve missed a large part of the story of Weimar visual cultureand politics. Beyond the Bauhaus enables scholars of German studies, arthistory, and architectural history to fill this gap.” - Elizabeth Otto, University of Buffalo
