Life
Liane Josephine Schindler's father studied engineering in Vienna and married a Viennese woman with whom he moved back to Bukowina and founded a furniture factory. He was a Zionist and chairman of the Chernivtsi Makkabi football club. Liane and her sister spoke good German at home; she learned Romanian, Latin, French, Hebrew and English. For the youthful Liana, the upper-class behavior of the parents was a "life without soil". With the Soviet occupation of Bukovina in 1939, she had to switch to a Yiddish school and learn Russian. With the Romanian (re-) conquest of Bukovina in 1941, the Jews were ghettoized and some of them were deported to Transnistria . In 1944 the Schindler family managed to get from Constanța to Istanbul on a Bulgarian transport ship and to obtain an entry permit for Palestine .
There she studied music and social education .
Ilana Shmueli was friends with Oskar Kokoschka and Rose Ausländer . One of her childhood friends was Paul Celan , whom she met in Paris in 1965 and then again in Jerusalem in 1969 . She combined the lyric and the music . After the visits they began a lively correspondence, which was also published. Paul Celan died soon afterwards under unexplained circumstances in April 1970 in Paris. Ilana Shmueli worked as a social educator and criminologist and as a training manager for the Israeli Ministry of Welfare in Tel Aviv . It was only after her retirement that she began to write and attempt to translate Celan's poems into Hebrew. She last lived in Jerusalem.
