Autorenporträt
Helga Michie, born in Vienna in 1921 as the twin sister of Ilse Aichinger, fled with a Kindertransport to London in July 1939, where she still lives today. Helga established close contact with renowned artists and writers in British exile, such as Elias and Veza Canetti, Erich Fried, Robert Neumann, H. G. Adler, and Michael Hamburger. She first tried to get a foothold as an actress (The Third Man, Odette), later as an author and translator. It was not until the mid-1960s that she started working as a visual artist.
