Gerda Lerner Family Collection 1939-1978
No full textThe collection contains materials related to several members of the Kronstein/Neumann/Mueller families; both original documents as well as additional biographical information and excerpts from Gerda Lerner's book "A Death of One's Own". The bulk consists of correspondence, mainly written from Ilona Kronstein's exile in Nice to her daughter Gerda in the United States. In one letter, Ilona Kronstein describes a brief stay in the Gurs camp. Most of the correspondence has been summarized by John and Eva Englander, the summaries are included in the folders.Austrian Heritage CollectionGerda Lerner, October 2003; April 2004 (Addenda 1)The Gerda Lerner Papers are on deposit at the Schlesinger Library, Radcliffe Institute. See also the Nora Kronstein-Rosen Family Collection at the LBI (AR 25257)Ilona Kronstein (nee Neumann) was born in Budapest in 1897 to Sigmund Neumann and Emma Deutsch. In 1918, she met Robert Kronstein. The couple married a year later and moved to Vienna. They had two daughters: Gerda, born in 1920, and Nora, born in 1925. Between 1928 and 1933 Ilona studied art with Johannes Itten. She opened her own studio in 1933. In 1938, after several weeks in a Gestapo prison, she fled with her two daughters, Gerda and Nora, to Liechtenstein, where her husband was already waiting. After a few months in Vaduz, she went to a small town near Nice and solely devoted herself to art. It was in Nice that she became friends with the painter Rudolf Ray. In 1940 she was detained in the concentration camp at Gurs for several weeks and from 1941 onwards she began to show signs of multiple sclerosis. Her family managed with great difficulty to get her back to Liechtenstein in 1942 and to obtain medical assistance for her in Switzerland. She died in Zurich in 1948.In 2000, the Jewish Museum Vienna exhibited drawings and pastels by Ilona Kronstein, which her daughters Gerda Lerner and Nora Kronstein-Rosen donated to the museum in 1997.Ilona's sister Margit Neuer (born 1899) was a physician and perished in Auschwitz. Her second sister Klara (born 1903) married Alexander Mueller, a psychiatrist and close co-worker of Alfred Adler. As a stateless person he was denied residence in several countries and forcibly sent across the border back to Germany, until he finally obtained residence in Holland. After the Nazi takeover of the Netherlands, he and his wife fled to Budapest, where they survived the Russian siege and he survived Eichmann's death march to Austria. After the end of the war they first returned to The Netherlands, then found refuge in Switzerland, where Alexander Mueller accepted a position at the University of Zuerich. He died in 1968.Elizabeth Breznitz, née Klein, was born in Léva (then Hungary, today Levice, Slovakia). Her first husband, Leo Kalmer, died in a concentration camp in Bavaria; she was liberated from Auschwitz in 1945, but her father and her stepmother perished. After the war she lived in Plzen, Czech Republic. Her letters are of great interest to understand the daily life of a Holocaust survivor in Czechoslovakia.Gerda Kronstein came to the US in 1939, where she married Carl Lerner in 1941. She received her Ph.D. at Columbia University in 1966. She is one of the founders of women's history and a former President of the Organization of American Historians. In 1972, she founded the first graduate (M.A.) program in women's history in the US at Sarah Lawrence College. In 1980 she founded the first PH.D. program in women's history at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She has won many honors, including 17 honorary degrees and is the author of 13 books.See also the catalog of an exhibition held at the Juedisches Museum Wien in 2000: Die Welt der Ili Kronstein = the world of Ili Kronstein : Werke 1938-1943 / herausgegeben von Werner Hanak im Auftrag des Juedischen Museums Wien.

Connective-tissue fibroblasts established on micropillar interfaces are pivotal for epithelial tissue morphogenesis
No full textPolydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) pillar arrays are applied as a biomechanical microenvironment to establish gingival connective-tissue fibroblasts (GCTFs) and to further analyze the pivotal role of GCTFs in epithelial-tissue morphogenesis. GCTFs are known to exert successful adhesion and growth on fibronectin immobilized on pillar heads, over time, concomitant with the increased gene expression of vimentin and collagen type-I. GCTF-populated pillar arrays clearly reveal that epithelial-tissue morphogenesis of immortalized human gingival keratinocytes (IHGKs), co-cultured for 7 and 14 days, parallels the in vivo phenotype more closely, when compared with GCTF-free control arrays. This in vivo-like phenotype is substantiated by higher mRNA levels for keratin 1, involucrin and filaggrin differentiation markers. Furthermore, it is reflected by a tissue-specific protein orientation of the aforementioned molecules, and also of the cell-to-cell contact forming desmoplakin and the basement membrane constituents, laminin-5, laminin-1/10, and collagen type-IV. These experiments suggest that the in vivo-like phenotype of the IHGK is governed by the GCTFs growing on the micropillar interfaces. Moreover, they form the basis for the optimization or neogeneration of biomaterials by varying predefined microenvironmetal parameters to achieve an in vivo-like cell growth and differentiation, indispensable for tissue morphogenesis during regeneration
Early keratinocyte differentiation on micropillar interfaces
No full textWe employed topographical patterning to analyze early keratinocyte differentiation on top of microfabricated pillar arrays. Fibronectin immobilized on pillar "heads" yielded a nucleus-associated granular keratin 1 (K1) pattern in immortalized human gingival keratinocytes (IHGK) at pillar interspaces of 14 mum. Decreasing distances of 11and 8 mum revealed cytoplasmic extension of the early differentiation marker K1 on poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) pillars. The most extensive cytoplasmic K1 protein distribution noted at the smallest pillar scale coincided with higher ratios of K1 mRNA gene transcription. These experiments suggest that early keratinocyte differentiation was governed by the topographical characteristics of the pillar pattern. Moreover, they form the basis to study cell functions such as differentiation in a defined topologically structured environment

Les Delassements D\u27Eros : sexuality and gender identity in Gerda Wegener\u27s erotic aquarelles
No full textThis thesis examines the representations of sexuality and gender identity in Gerda Wegener\u27s erotic illustrations in Les Delassements D\u27Eros: Douze Sonnets Lascifs ( The Amusements of Eros: Twelve Lustful Sonnets ). In 1925, Gerda Wegener, a Danish artist, collaborated with Louis Perceau, a French poet and connoisseur of erotica, to illustrate a book of erotic poetry known as Les Delassements D\u27Eros. Her illustrations consist of twelve watercolors, called aquarelles, with female-female sex as well as other sexual mythological and carnival imagery. For many years, both the author and the artist were unknown because the book was published anonymously due to its erotic content. The popular female model in her artworks was her husband, Einar, who in 1930 underwent the first successful sex reassignment surgery to identify as a woman. Through the inclusion of Einar as her female model in her illustrations as well as female-female sex, Gerda pushes and blurs the boundaries of gender and sexuality during the early twentieth century in Paris. Her works explore the fashioning of identity and the collapse of cultural barriers, and express a passion for women and beauty, all of which are still relevant today
