Mira Lobe (Template:Langx; born Hilde Mirjam Rosenthal; September 17, 1913, in Görlitz, Silesia – February 6, 1995, in Vienna) was an Austrian writer of more than 100 children's books.[1]
Some of her books were translated into English and other languages, such as Es ging ein Schneemann durch das Land, which became The Snowman Who Went for a Walk in English. The television series Children's Island (1984) was based on one of her novels.[2]
Life
After school, Mira Lobe wanted to study art history and German language and literature, but because she was Jewish, Lobe was not allowed due to the growing antisemitism. Instead she attended a fashion school in Berlin, joined a Zionist youth group and studied Hebrew.
In 1936, she emigrated to Mandate Palestine, where in 1940 she married the actor and director Friedrich Lobe. The couple had two children. Her first book, Insu-Pu, was published in 1948 in Tel Aviv. It tells the story of eleven children on their way to Terrania, where there is peace. They become stranded on a desert island where they manage to establish a perfectly working state.
In 1951, she moved to Vienna with her husband. There she published books in first a communist and later a socialist publishing house. In 1957 they moved to East Berlin. In 1958 she was awarded the Template:Ill for Titi im Urwald (Titi in the Jungle).
