(Isstories Editorial):- Berlin, Germany Apr 23, 2023 (Issuewire.com) – At one time, Berlin was the fashion capital of Germany. First-class Jewish fashion designers dominated the industry until the 1920’s. With the Nazi rise to power in 1933, thousands of fashion designers were forced to emigrate or into slave labor or were murdered.

Of the more than 2,800 Berlin fashion companies in 1930, none was left in 1939. The destruction of Berlin’s fashion culture and the people who worked in it was part of the Holocaust and still makes itself felt today.
