About the book: year / Margaret Buber-Neumann left behind several books from which it is very interesting to study the history of the hobbies of the generation born with the 20th century . She grew up in a decent German family and married the son of the famous Jewish philosopher Martin Buber. She gave birth to two daughters, but... It was this “but” that turned her future life upside down. She became interested in communist ideas, began collaborating in the communist press, and left her husband and family for the sake of “the high ideals of the liberation of mankind.” She married Heinz Neumann, a member of the Politburo of the KKE Central Committee, together with him she carried out Comintern tasks in Spain and Switzerland, and in 1935 she came to the Soviet Union. Two years later, her husband was arrested and shot along with the leadership of the German Communist Party, and she, as a wife and a “socially dangerous element,” was sentenced to 5 years in the camps. She served in Karaganda. In 1940, after the conclusion of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, the Gestapo handed over to the NKVD Ukrainian nationalists and Russian emigrants captured in Poland. The NKVD, in turn, handed over to the Gestapo the unexecuted German communists who were in Soviet prisons and camps. Among them was Margarete Buber-Neumann. She spent the following years in more comfortable conditions than in Karaganda, but also in a concentration camp - Ravensbrück. The Americans released her in April 1945. After the Second World War, she worked as a journalist. Her testimony at the trial of Kravchenko against Les Lettres Françaises (1949) was of great importance. The German government awarded her the Grand Federal Cross of Merit in 1980.
