Life
After attending the Reformrealgymnasium in Vienna, which she left with the Matura, Rosenberg studied biology and physiology at the University of Vienna . With the examination date of July 19, 1930, she received her doctorate in Dr. phil.
From November 1930 to June 1932 Rosenberg was a research guest at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Biology in Berlin-Dahlem, where she was employed in Max Hartmann's department . Here she devoted herself to research on form change and reproduction of lower organisms.
From July 1, 1932 to the end of June 1933, Rosenberg had a scheduled assistant at the Institute for Radiation Research in the Medical Faculty of Berlin University. In this position she was subordinate to Walter Friedrich .
After the National Socialists came to power, Rosenberg was removed from civil service because of her - according to National Socialist definition - Jewish descent. In 1933/34 she emigrated to Great Britain. There she was employed with the help of various scholarships from 1933 to 1935 as a researcher at Birkbeck College, London University. From 1935 to 1940 she then worked at the Biological Station of the Freshwater Biological Association in Ambleside.
After the outbreak of the Second World War, Rosenberg was interned by the British authorities in June 1940 - as she was still formally an Austrian / German citizen. Since August 1940 she was in an internment camp on the Isle of Man . She was released in December 1940 thanks to the advocacy of the Society for Protection of Science and Learning (SPSL) and the British Federation of University Women .
The National Socialist police officers classified Rosenberg as an enemy of the state after her emigration: In the spring of 1940, the Reich Main Security Office in Berlin put her on the special wanted list GB , a list of people who would be killed by the occupation forces in the event of a successful invasion and occupation of the British Isles by the Wehrmacht Subsequent SS special commands were to be identified and arrested with special priority.
From January 1941 until at least the spring of 1946 Rosenberg lived and worked in Cambridge and later in Kent.
Rosenberg had been married to Glynn Burton since July 1942
