...Epstein's first statue of Christ, a dignified, rather Assyrian figure in bronze, raised howls of "sacrilege." There were just as violent outbursts against his sombre Mongoloid figures on the Underground Railways building (TIME, July 22; Aug. 26, 1929) and his great marble statue of a pregnant Negroid woman known as Genesis (TIME, Feb. 16; April...

Normally the People's Court lets its sentences of death be known only after the guilty heads have been chopped. Last week by a great exception underground Berlin grapevines got out word that the Court had sentenced Baroness von Berg and Frau von Natzmer to death, had let off with life imprisonment Baron Sosnowski and two unnamed female employees of the Defense Ministry. Only one question remained, would the two doomed German women die by the Nazi...
