Writer of stories and novels for children and young people

Ruth Rewald (1906–1942) was a German writer of children's books. In 1938, after five months in Spain, with the publication of "Vier spanische Jungen" she became the first mainstream author to produce a German language book about the Spanish Civil War written expressly for children and young people. By that time, however, her family home was a 50 m apartment in Paris to where, for reasons both of race and of politics, she had relocated following régime change at the start of 1933 in Germany. She was deported to Auschwitz in July 1942 and is believed to have been murdered shortly afterwards. Her daughter, born in 1937, suffered a similar death slightly under two years later.
