Biographical/historical note: Barbara Sadagopan was born in Berlin in 1923. She is the
daughter of the graphic artist Helmut Krommer, who was a Catholic. Because her mother
was a Jew, the family suffered persecution and was forced to flee the Künstlerkolonie in
Berlin and find refuge in Czechoslovakia. She later fled to Yugoslavia when the Germans
invaded Prague. Sadagopan and her sisters and mother obtained visas and fled to
England. She spent the war years in England and immigrated to the United States in
1948.
