Alice Gurschner
Alice Gurschner , pseudonym Paul Althof , (born October 8, 1869 in Vienna ; † March 26, 1944 there ) was an Austrian writer .
Life
Alice Pollak grew up in an upper-class Jewish family and received private tuition in high school subjects, music and modern languages. In 1897 she married the sculptor Gustav Gurschner , co-founder of the Vienna Secession , with whom she had three children. After the marriage, they lived in Paris for two years . Her marriage to the Catholic artist did not find the place of her family. After her father's death in 1905, she converted to Catholicism and became a deeply religious Catholic and a monarchist and nationalist Austrian. It is possible that this attitude, which was documented at the outbreak of war in 1914, was preserved after 1941 before deportation .
She wrote her poems, stories and dramas mainly under the male pseudonym Paul Althof. Her newspaper and magazine articles have appeared in the Neue Wiener Journal , Illustrirten Wiener Extrablatt , Wiener Austen-Blatt , in the Oesterreichische Volks-Zeitung and in the Berliner Börsen-Courier .
Gurschner was a member of the Association of Writers and Artists in Vienna.
