from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Margit Bartfeld-Feller (born March 31, 1923 in Czernowitz ; died November 26, 2019 in Tel Aviv ) is an old Austrian writer who now lives in Israel .

After a carefree childhood and youth in the Jewish bourgeoisie of the multicultural Czernowitz, which at the time belonged to Romania , the author was sent from the Soviet Union to Siberia in 1941 with numerous other fateful companions. The terrible experiences there, but also her further eventful life story form the material for Bartfeld-Fellner's now more than ten book publications.

In her memory books, written decades later, Bartfeld-Feller describes the harmless pleasures of her high school days, but also the starvation of her father, she describes the beauties but also the dangers of the Siberian jungle landscape. Private matters are also discussed, such as the marriage to the master builder Kurt Feller (1948) and the birth of their daughter Anita in 1954.

As a writer, Bartfeld-Feller is a late caller. For 32 years she worked as a music teacher in the Tomsk children's home. In 1979 Kurt Feller died. It was not until 1990 that the author finally succeeded in obtaining permission to emigrate. She emigrated to Israel with her mother, daughter, son-in-law and two grandchildren.

Margit Bartfeld-Feller received the Theodor Kramer Prize in 2013 . She died on November 26, 2019 in Tel Aviv.
