Life

The daughter of an electrician was born as Hanna Meierzak in Berlin in 1923, her ambitious mother made sure that at the age of four she stood on the stage as " Thumbel " with Renée Stobrawa . Under the name Hannele Meierzak , the child starred in some late silent and early sound films, including M by Fritz Lang . In her last German film she had Hans Albers and a monkey as partners. She also read texts on the Berlin radio and continued to appear in the theater: In 1931 Hannele Meierzak played Pepita in Das schwachelecht , a production by Max Reinhardt . In the same year she played “Pünktchen” in Gottfried Reinhardt's production of Erich Kästner's children 's novel Pünktchen and Anton at the Deutsches Theater Berlin , “Anton” was Hans Schaufuss . The following year she played in Karlheinz Martin's production of Gerhart Hauptmann's Fuhrmann Henschel with Emil Jannings .

After the handover of power to the National Socialists in 1933, Hanna was invited to sing a song for the birthday of a prominent Nazi personality on the radio, which was probably due to an error made by the radio director. Her mother refused this request because the family was Jewish. Her father decided to emigrate to Palestine , Hannele was still in Paris at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées at Émile et les Détectives before she followed with her mother.

During World War II she was a soldier in the Jewish Brigade of the British Army and a member of music and drama group Me'ein vision (as such) with her first husband Yossi Yadin . The two were later in the first ensemble of the Cameri Theater. There she took on leading roles in plays such as All My Sons , Hedda Gabler , Was ihr wollt , Medea and The Glass Menagerie .

She was seriously injured in a terrorist attack by the Palestinian Action Organization for the Liberation of Palestine (AOLP) on February 10, 1970 on an El-Al flight in the transit hall of Munich airport and lost her left foot in a hand grenade by the three terrorists. A year later she was back on stage as Medea with a prosthesis .

Maron was very active with the peace organizations in Israel and a guest at the signing of the Oslo peace process in Washington . She advocated a separate Palestinian state within the 1967 borders.

She also starred in several Israeli films and was a co-founder of the Herzliya Theater in the early 1990s .

Hanna Maron was married three times and was the widow of the Israeli architect Yaakow Rechter . Her daughter Dafna Rechter is also an actress.
