More than 250 photographs, posters, documents and costumes have been brought together by the Museum of Jewish Art and History to retrace the little-known life of dancer Paula Padani (1913-2001). The last Jewish student at the renowned Wigman dance school in Dresden, this Hamburg native emigrated to Israel in 1936. She opened a dance school in Tel Aviv and created a repertoire of solo pieces. In 1946, she moved to Paris with her husband, Michael Gottlieb, known as Aram. He devoted himself to painting, while Paula triumphed in Europe and New York.
