Life

Rusia Schlamm came from a large family; one brother was the journalist William S. Schlamm . The family moved to Vienna in 1909. Schlamm studied art history there and was active in the Zionist Youth Association. She married the organist and musicologist Max Lampel. They had their son Age, who became a member of the Hagana and was a soldier in the Israeli War of Independence ; under the psychological burden of what he had experienced, he committed suicide in the 1960s.

Rusia and Max Lampel went to Palestine for the first time in 1926 , before finally emigrating to Palestine in 1934 . There they first lived in Tel Aviv and then moved to Jerusalem.

Rusia Lampel wrote radio plays and later books for young people on Israeli topics in German for a German reading audience. For the book Der Sommer mit Ora (1964) she received a prize at the German Youth Literature Prize in 1965 .
