On 12 February 1933, two weeks after the National Socialists came to power, a photo series appeared in the Berliner Illustrierte featuring white models wearing jewellery from ethnological collections. The famous Berlin photographer Yva (Else Ernestine Neuländer-Simon) staged the style of the ‘Neue Frau’ from the Weimar Republic alongside objects from colonial contexts, thereby creating something new. Historian Patrick Helber and educator Christian Hajer present the objects alongside the avant-garde photographer’s historical photographs, discuss contemporary perspectives on the works, and situate them within the intertwined history of colonialism and the Holocaust in the ethnological collections.
