Episode 4: Hamburg Secession Trailer

Hamburg, 1919. A city broken by war, strangled to starvation by blockades, gutted by hyperinflation. Sixteen million dead from the war, over twenty million from the Spanish Flu. The old order collapsed.

​

But in the ruins, something extraordinary emerged.

The Hamburg Secession—the city's first avant-garde movement—formed out of the ashes. And at its center: three Jewish women who defied every barrier designed to stop them: Alma del Banco, Gretchen Wohlwill, and Anita Rée.
