Jacob, Heinrich Eduard, 1899-1967

Hide Profile

Heinrich Eduard Jacob was born in Berlin in 1889 to Richard and Martha Jacob (née Behrendt). During the Weimar Republic he worked as a journalist, but was also known for his fiction and non-fiction works which included plays, short stories, and novels. Starting in 1927 he led the Vienna-based Central European bureau of the Berliner Tageblatt newspaper. After the Anschluss, Jacob was arrested and interned in Dachau and Buchenwald. Thanks to the efforts of his later wife, Dora Angel-Soyka, he was eventually released in 1939 and together they emigrated to the United States. In New York he continued to publish, now for Aufbau and other English-language publications. Following the war he returned to Europe but did not permanently settle in any one location. He died in 1967 in Salzburg.
