Talk:Margot Zemach

Husband and daughter
Here are authority control identifiers for husband Harve Zemach

and daughter Kaethe Zemach (Zemach-Bersin).

Their WorldCat pages only are External links at the foot of this biography along with all of the identifiers for Margot Zemach.

Re "Harvey Fichstrom" the German national library DNB gives him real name or maiden name "Fishtrom"; the American LCCN gives him alternate name "Fischtrom".

At WorldCat Harve's latest credit as author is Kaethe's first, namely The Princess and Froggie (Farrar Staus & Giroux, 1975).

 * Harve Zemach at Library of Congress Authorities — with 15 catalog records (all Harve & Margot)
 * There is also one stray record for Harve Zemach "from old catalog", which does not identify Margot as illustrator. But WorldCat does name her.


 * Kaethe Zemach at LC Authorities --with 12 catalog records
 * LC also shows one collaboration by Harve & Kaethe as writers, illustrated by Margot (1975). It shows one mother-daughter collaboration too, Margot writer and Kaethe illustrator (2005). From the publisher description, "Caldecott Medalist Margot Zemach wrote this topsy-turvy tale about her children before she died, and now her daughter Kaethe completes the book with cheerful illustrations that capture both the fury and the fun of sibling rivalry."

Hannelore Hahn
In 1959 Houghton Mifflin published her first book, created with Harve. (quote) "Next year Little, Brown published her work with another writer, Take a Giant Step by Hannelore Hahn.<ref name=LCC1960/"

That is the only children's book by Hannelore Hahn, a Dresden Jew born 1926, refugee 1937 or 1938, founder of the International Women's Writing Guild in 1976. -- whose 1982 memoir only (i infer) has been published in German, 2008. Hahn at DNB
 * Hannelore Hahn website

-- whom other authorities inclg US Library of Congress unfortunately conflate with a Kafka scholar.

Date of death, obituaries
With access to some full text newspaper archives I find confirmation of the deathdate May 21, 1989 (not November). The national library of France (BNF in External links) gives DoD 1989-11-21 and two general sources 2008  --of which the U.S. national library (LCCN in External links) now gives only YoD 1989.

Obituary bibliog data: NYTimes May 23 pA27; CTrib may 27 p7; LATimes May 27 p36.

NYT and CTrib give full name Kaethe Zemach-Bersin for the daughter (one of four surviving) we cover in the article. --P64 (talk) 23:16, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
