Biographical summary Paula Buber (nee Winkler) was born in Munich in 1877. She met Martin Buber at the University of Zurich in 1899 and they married in 1907. The couple had two children, Rafael (whose archive is in the department) and Eva. In 1901 she wrote two articles for Herzl's "Die Welt". Her first book was published in 1912 under the pseudonym Georg Munk and she used this name for all her books. After Franz Rosenzweig's death, she was Buber's main advisor for his translation of the Bible into German. The family moved to Jerusalem in 1938 after their house in Heppenheim was destroyed in Kristallnacht. As a reaction to events Paula wrote the book "Muckensturm". She accompanied Buber on many of his travels and in 1958, on the way back to Israel, she died in Venice, where she is buried. Martin Buber published a collection of her tales with the title "Geister und Menschen" posthumously.
