This publication focuses on architects - Jews living and working in Brno between the wars - for several reasons, particularly because of the fact that they were responsible for a remarkable number of residential buildings in Brno, that share joint formal architectural features and differ from the Brno " white functionalism. An independent stream of modern architecture came into existence, a stream that diverged considerably from that of both Czech and German Brno architects of that time, and Brno became its centre. It can be said that over the twenty years between the wars the Jewish architects strongly influenced the face of Brno, a prosperous modern multinational and bilingual town in its time. Another reason for this publication is to mediate the works of the modern Brno Jewish architects (Jindřich Blum, Zoltán Egri, Otto Eisler, Zikmund Kerekes, Alfred Neuman, Endre Steiner, Maxe Tintner, Norbert Troller, Arnošt Wiesner and others ) to the public as a compact aesthetic and historical expression, and to try to summarize, select, explain and evaluate the information for the first time.
