Rosalinde von Ossietzky-Palm (born December 21, 1919 in Berlin , † February 7, 2000 in Stockholm , Sweden ) was a German-Swedish pacifist .

Life

Rosalinde von Ossietzky was the daughter of the pacifist Carl von Ossietzky . Her mother, Maud Lichfield-Woods, was the daughter of a British officer and great-granddaughter of an Indian princess. From 1932 to 1933 she attended the Odenwald School in Ober-Hambach . In 1933, shortly after power was handed over to the National Socialists , she emigrated to England. There she attended boarding school and began training as a dancer. In the mid-1930s she moved to Sweden, where she lived from then on. She had to give up her dance training and instead worked as a social worker until she retired.

She participated in the international campaign to award her father the Nobel Peace Prize .

Later, von Ossietzky-Palm campaigned for the convictions for treason against Carl von Ossietzky during the Weimar Republic to be overturned and initiated the retrial for the Weltbühne trial . However, the Federal Court of Justice ruled in 1992 that there was no legal basis for reassessing the 1931 ruling. An acquittal was not possible under the law at the time.

In October 1991 she became an honorary citizen of the Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg .

She married the journalist Björn Palm for the second time, with whom she had a son. Rosalinde von Ossietzky-Palm died on February 7, 2000 in Stockholm after a long hospital stay.
