- The woman with the shock of painted red hair, her body wrapped in a fur coat, and a pet monkey grinning and holding tight to her neck was #AnitaBerber She danced across the foyer of the #AdlonHotel of #Berlin #Germany during the #Weimar era, opened her sable coat and revealed her naked body underneath. Men leered, goggle-eyed. Women giggled or turned their heads in shock and embarrassment. There wasn’t much to embarrass the public in 1930s Germany - this was the era of #WeimarGermany an era of poverty and sin.
Anita Berber didn’t care. She liked to shock. She liked the attention. If she didn’t get it, she would shout and throw empty bottles or glasses on the floor. Berber was a dancer, an actor, a writer, and a model. She was called the “Goddess of the Night,” the “Priestess of Debauchery,” the very symbol of #Weimar decadence, and a drug-addled degenerate. She was all these things and more during her brief, sad life from 1899 until 1928.

Fine presentation of a remarkable woman and of another time.
Thank you for watching!
She seems remarkably sad to me. Why should she be celebrated for destroying her life with drugs and alcohol? Is this simply because she took her clothes off on stage?
@@petebondurant58 Who is celebrating her? The LGTBQ movement? Go after them.
@@RadioWhoPoo You must forgive me, I had not realised that you were one of the good ones. Keep up the good work. We're all rooting for you.
Whats remarkable about her?????
The NSDAP certainly did NOT encourage women to behave like Anita Berber. Their policies encouraged the exact opposite behaviour. Women were expected to marry and bear children in the Third Reich. There was some artistic nudity allowed in certain festivals and operas, but women were not encouraged to flout their sexuality otherwise.
You need to hit the history books. Berlin became the capital of "sin" after WWI. While the NSDAP was around, turned over from the German Workers' Party in 1920, that's just eight years before Berbars' death in 1928. Their conservative movement didn't bring them into full power until 1933, along with the help of the Great Depression. Never mind their own less then moral & ethical shenanigans' to get to power.
The Nat. Socialists most certainly didn't encourage young women to be like her. Precisely the opposite. They encouraged young girls to be fit and healthy, avoid cigarettes and drink, and above all remain virgins until marriage.
@@petebondurant58 The NSDAP were the first political party to ban smoking ads during a time when cigarettes were being heavily promoted and advertised in the US and Europe.
@@petebondurant58 I think you may have misunderstood. At the end of the video, the creator claims that the NSDAP promoted this kind of lifestyle to women. I was refuting that statement.
@@user-jt3zv2jc7u The NSDAP definitely did NOT promote this sort of lifestyle to women. 😆 Your refutation is well founded.
Excellent follow up to your Weimar video essay. Your historical analysis of the Weimar era of Berlin is amazing. The photos of Anita Berber are an added bonus ~♡☆☆☆☆□
Thank you so much!
What a waste of life. Debauchery leads to destruction
Yes so much better to be a hypocrite and hide your degeneracy, asking for God's forgiveness every Sunday!
"Her entire sense of self was external"...so today she'd be an internet "influencer" or "performer".
Probably.
Can barely hear the audio.
Subtitles
Conrad Veidt had a fairly noticeable acting career. He appeared in the movie cereals Batman in the 30's as the Joker. He later was in Casablanca with Humprey Bogard, Ingrid Bergman & Claude Rains, Veidt played the part of the German Major Strasser. A very solid actor.
Veidt was a great actor.
Excellent vlog, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Very interesting. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Intelligence at work here.
Thank you.
Yes, a based intellience, very refreshing.
... you say in 1930s Germany but Anita died in 1928
....her videos were shown for decades....
@@RadioWhoPoo but your commentary makes it sound like she was doing this in the 30s
Die war meine Heldin als ich sechszehn Jahre alt war, und die wird noch also sein bis ich sterbe!!!!
Sie starb vor ihrem dreißigsten Lebensjahr nach jahrelangem Drogen- und Alkoholmissbrauch.
Hello from Wisconsin
Hearts beat and blood flows...
when they saw her naked, the realized they needed to name a carpet after her, Berber carpet !
Ostensible promotions often conceal hidden acceptances reserved for those who by virtue of power indulge in verboten occult. Perhaps both present here. Sad short life regardless, despite celebratory indulgences. Bless her heart.
@3:50 This is a little confusing: Johannes Brahms died in 1897 and couldn’t have been on tour with the Berber Quartet in 1918.
You can check the sources, Berber was on tour with a Johannes Brahms
I know my comment will not be well received but I find the last sentence by the narrator as the most revealing. If she was fat or ugly there most likely wouldn't be any memory of her. As long as a person is able to be sexualized he or she is valued as an artist by artists and gawkers alike.
She was thin because she was starving, she probably couldn't get fat if she tried.
She was thin because of drugs...she didn't eat@@RadioWhoPoo
Yes, it seems rather odd to laud such an irresponsible and reckless human being. She should be pitied, not praised. @kritenhurst683
Call me old fashioned but most men and women don't fancy fat and ugly men or women... Beauty has always, through the centuries been admired and exulted...
why are ;you whispering on these presntations?
Suggest you use subtitles.
4:41 - NOT Anita Barber.
She was a pirates dream ! A sunken chest !😊
and a Berber carpet for a bush !
I haven't heard that since I was 13 🙂
You got the year she died wrong (it was 1928).
ART DECO-ROTICA!!!
This explains the French olympic ceremonies ! The pretentious artistic degeneracy foisted on the bewildered masses. Buhahaha!!!!
