The letters between the painter Hans Grundig (1901–1958) and the graphic artist Lea Grundig (1906–1977) deal with Jewish identity, art and love, with imprisonment and flight during the National Socialist era, and finally with the return to a destroyed Dresden. This volume of essays opens up the enormous dimension of the correspondence and at the same time forms the prelude to the planned edition of the private correspondence currently in progress.

Born in 1955 in a poor district of São Paulo, Ismael Ivo became one of the world’s most famous and successful dancers. Artistically, he forged close connections with Johann Kresnik, Marcia Haydée, Ushio Amagatsu, George Tabori, Koffi Kôkô, and many others.
