Life

Eick wrote poems and short stories for the lesbian magazine Garçonne . After the Nazis came to power in 1933, she had to give up journalism and worked as a housekeeper and nanny .

Her parents were murdered in the Auschwitz concentration camp .

Eick worked as a housekeeper in London and met her partner Gertrud Klingel. They moved to Devon , where they ran a kindergarten and Eick began writing poetry again. Her volume of poetry Immortal Muse was published in 1984 and served as the basis for the short film The Immortal Muse , directed by Jules Hussey, in 2005 .
