Her first success was the ‘Lyrische Stenogrammheft’ in the 1930s, until the National Socialists banned her from writing. In 1938, she emigrated to the USA shortly before the Reichspogromnacht and later lived with her husband in Israel. As a representative of New Objectivity, she stands alongside Tucholsky, Kästner, Keun and Ringelnatz.
Her verses are tenderly ironic, melancholic and witty, which made her an important voice in the Weimar Republic and in exile. Even in the USA, Berlin remained a place of longing for her, ‘her Berlin’, which she once sang about.
