Life

Etty Stein-Haller came from the family of a very religious Jewish land manager . She had two siblings. After visiting the elementary school she acquired on the Czernowitz gymnasium , the High School . Since she could not live in Germany as a Jew, she went to live with relatives in Paris when she was 21. She first attended a language school and later studied Romance languages . She was in contact with other German emigrants. In 1936 she founded the group Jeunesse Libre Allemande (“ Free German Youth. ”) With other emigrated young people who belonged to the families of opponents of Hitler“), Which was made up of racially, religiously or politically persecuted young people of different political backgrounds. Etty worked in the communist group and took part in the actions of the French Communist Party . In 1936 she met her future husband Peter Gingold , with whom she later moved into a flat on 11 Boulevard St. Martin . After the outbreak of war and the ban on the French Communist Party, Peter Gingold was interned. At that point she was pregnant. Their daughter Alice was born on June 5, 1940, who she had to give away temporarily due to the deportations. She herself lived illegally under a different name with her daughter and two children of a deported sister of her husband. She supported the Resistance. She worked as a courier for the " Movement for International Opening " (MOI). Resistance leaflets and pamphlets were printed in her apartment , which she also distributed. She also took part in the publication of a newspaper “People and Fatherland”. When the situation became more and more difficult, she brought the children with a farming family in Champagne , whom she could only pick up after the war.

After the end of the Second World War, Etty Gingold and her husband Peter went to his German homeland in 1946 . She would have preferred to stay in France because she didn't know Germany at all. Her husband, as a German who was discriminated against as a " stateless person " by the Nazi authorities , found it particularly difficult to assert himself under the new circumstances. In Frankfurt, together with her husband Peter Gingold, she was involved in the fight against rearmament in the Federal Republic.

Due to the radical decree, her daughter Silvia was not employed as a civil servant in Hesse as a member of the DKP, which the authorities classified as anti- constitutional .

In the 1980s she campaigned for the Krefeld appeal against the NATO double decision .

In November 2009, the Association of Victims of the Nazi Regime (VVN) organized a book reading on the autobiographical notes of Peter and Etty Gingold on the occasion of the Frankfurt Book Fair in the presence of their daughter Silvia Gingold.
