Biographical History
Hannelore Marom-Bergman, née Weill, is the only child of composer Kurt Weill's older brother Nathan, and it was her mother, Helene, she says, who provided funds for the first production of the very successful musical Die Dreigroschenoper (Berlin, 1928).
Born in Leipzig, Germany, Hannelore emigrated with her family to Israel in 1936. Although Nathan was a physician, the financial situation of the family was difficult at times, and the cost of sending Hannelore to an English boarding school in Jerusalem was borne by her uncle Kurt, who had by then established his reputation in the United States as a successful composer of Broadway musicals. She has memories of her uncle visiting her family in Leipzig, sometimes with Lenya and/or Brecht, and others of his visit with her family in Israel in 1947.
