Barooah, Elisabeth

After her school graduation from Gera (Germany), Elisabeth Barooah (1937-2010) took her diploma in translation in English and Russian languages from the University of Heidelberg. Until her retirement Elisabeth was engaged in the monitoring service of 'Deutsche Welle' in Cologne for several years. A lover of classical Western music and modern art, Elisabeth was a voracious reader. Besides novels (Thomas Mann was one of her favourite authors), she was keenly interested in history and biographies.
