Erika Schmidt

unknown Germany

Erika Schmidt was a pivotal figure in the life of German writer and journalist Sebastian Haffner, as she became his wife and shared in his experiences during the tumultuous times of the Nazi regime. Denoted as a Jewish woman under Nazi racial laws, her relationship with Haffner was a significant catalyst for his decision to emigrate from Germany to England in 1938, where he continued his career in journalism and literature. Her influence and the challenges they faced together during this period shaped much of Haffner's subsequent work, reflecting the broader struggles of their time.
