Kurt Lubinski was born in Berlin on October 19, 1899. He was a German Jewish journalist and photographer and traveled the world in the 1920s and 30s. In 1933, he emigrated to Holland and in 1938/1939 to England, and later (probably in 1943) to New York. Lubinski worked for the Ullstein Verlag in Berlin and wrote many articles, accompanied by his own photographs, for the Berliner Morgenpost, Der Querschnitt and other magazines.
His wife Margot Lewin-Richter was also a photographer. She was born on March 17, 1906, in Berlin-Wilmersdorf.
