Yhe great German-Jewish painter Lotte Laserstein was born #onthisday in 1898.
The main focus of her early art was the "new woman" of the 20s, which was enough for the Third Reich to condemn her work, but from 1934 she was officially banned from exhibiting under the new racial laws.
In 1937 she fled to Sweden, where she remained for the rest of her life
