In interwar Brno there were two branches of modern architecture: the western oriented functionalism adopted and developed mostly by Czechs with Bohuslav Fuchs in the front, alongside the Central European purism with its roots in Vienna, providing a framework Brno's Jews. Otto Eisler is one of the leading personas of the latter. It is typical of twentieth-century Czech countries to learn very little about the second-line architects. No wonder - after the Nazi holocaust and communist antisemitism - there are no publications concentrating on this cultural information from our recent history, or basic source materials enabling us to reconstruct the historical facts. This monograph aims to make a tiny contribution to help to enhance the sorry state.
