Biography
Hedda Zinner was born in Lemberg on the 20th of May, 1905. She attended the Acting Academy there from 1923 to 1925. Zinner began working as an actress but her interest in the workers' movement led her to move to Berlin and, in 1929, join the Communist Party of Germany. She became a journalist for left-wing journals. When Hitler came to power, she moved to Vienna and then Prague, where she founded the cabaret Studio 34 in 1934. In 1935 she emigrated to Moscow. After the second world war she settled in East Berlin.[1]
She also wrote under the pseudonym Elisabeth Frank.
