Ohser, Erich

After Erich Ohser finished his studies in Leipzig in 1928, he started working as an illustrator at the Sächsische Sozialdemokratische Presse. In his early work for the democratic magazine Vorwärts, he often made satirical drawings of political figures like Hitler and Goebbels. Because of his criticism against the ruling party, he was eventually banned from working by having his professional license suspended.
