Kaethe Spiegel: papers

The following biographical details have been taken from a letter of reference given by her former employer (Deutscher Verein Frauenfortschritt), dated March 1939, presumably prior to emigration. 

Dr. Käthe Spiegel was the daughter of the professor of Public Law at the German University of Prague, and for many years senate member of the Parliament of Czechoslovakia, Dr. Ludwig Spiegel. She trained as a historian and librarian and worked as her father's secretary. She also worked for a number of other mostly student organisations in Prague.
