Elisabeth Augustin (June 13, 1903 – December 14, 2001) was a German-Dutch writer.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Elisabeth Augustin )〕 The daughter of Eduard Joseph Glaser, a Roman Catholic, and Ella Cohn, a Jew, she was born Elisabeth Theresia Glaser in Friedenau,〔 a suburb of Berlin, and grew up in Leipzig and Berlin. By the age of 20, she was writing poetry and short stories that were published in local newspapers. In 1933, she completed her first novel ''Der Ausgestoßene'' (The outcast); it was accepted for publication but was not released due to the political environment in Germany at the time. Later that year, she left for the Netherlands.〔 Her husband, Paul Felix Augustin, had grown up there and she already spoke Dutch.〔 Her own Dutch translation of her first novel was published as ''De uitgestootene'' in 1935. She had published three more novels in Dutch by 1938. In 1938, her parents left Germany to join her in the Netherlands. However, after her father died in 1942, her mother was deported to the Sobibór extermination camp where she died in the gas chambers.〔 Her later writing is strongly influenced by Judaism and The Holocaust, even though Augustin herself did not follow Jewish customs or the Jewish religion. She published the novel ''Labyrint'' (Dutch) in 1955. A German version ''Auswege'' appeared in 1988; it was to be her last novel, although she continued to produce poetry, short stories and radio plays.〔 In 1992, she was awarded the Jacobson award for her work.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Elisabeth Augustin )〕 She died in Amsterdam in 2001. == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Elisabeth Augustin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
