In 1901, Margarete Thuring was born to Jewish parents in Germany. In 1921, she joined the Socialist Youth League. It was either that year or the following when she married her first husband, Rafael Buber, who was every bit the communist as his philosopher father, Martin Buber.
In 1926, she joined the German Communist Party, which was more in line with not just her husband’s beliefs, but her own. So devout was her belief that she became a member of the editorial staff of Inprekorr, which was the official journal of the German Communist Party.
