Life
Born Eva Baruch, she received acting lessons from Ilka Grüning from 1935 to 1937 . As a Jew, excluded from the cultural scene at classical German theaters, she made her debut in 1937 at a venue of the Kulturbund Deutscher Juden . Here the 18-year-old succeeded in the coming months, especially in productions by Fritz Wisten ( “The Golem”, “The Duel of Love”, “Much Ado About Nothing”, “Cape of Good Hope” ). After a year, Eva Schwarcz decided to flee Germany.
She moved to Shanghai in 1938 and continued her stage work there with her participation in plays such as "Nathan the Wise", "Last Hope", "Storm in a Water Glass", "Delila", "Hans Huckebein" and "Stranger Earth" . In 1942 the German left the country, which had meanwhile been occupied by the Japanese, and fled on to Australia, where Schwarcz continued her stage work at the English Theater in Melbourne. In 1947 the artist returned to (East) Germany and from 1951 worked as an assistant director, dramaturge and director at East Berlin (Deutsches Theater) and GDR theaters such as in Wittenberg and Staßfurt. She also worked on radio programs. Up until the move to the Federal Republic of Germany in March 1961, Schwarcz appeared with tiny roles in one or the other cinema and television productions. The actress died at the age of only 47.
