Eva Schmidt-Kolmer (25 June 1913 - 29 August 1991) was an Austrian-German physician, university teacher and social psychologist. After 1949 she became an influential researcher into early childhood in the German Democratic Republic, working at the interface between medicine and pedagogy.[1][2]

Life

Eva Kolmer was born into a Jewish family in Vienna.[2] She was the eldest of her parents' four children. Walther Kolmer (1879–1931), her father, held a position as "Imperial and Royal Adjunct Professor" in Human Medicine and Biology at the University of Vienna. Her mother, born Lili Erika Pereles (1887-1942), worked as a secretary.[1] Later, on 17 August 1942, Lili Erika Kolmer was deported to the Maly Trostenets extermination camp near Minsk, and murdered there four days later.

Eva grew up and attended the gymnasium (secondary school) in the Döbling quarter of Vienna, on the north side of the city, a short walk beyond the university. She passed her school final exams ("Abitur") in 1930, the year of her seventeenth birthday.[1] She was already actively interested in issues of social justice while still at school, and involved with the Young Communists. She remained in Vienna, now as a medical student, between 1931 and 1938, although her student career was not uninterrupted.[1] She had already, despite her relatively young age, joined the Communist Party in 1930.[2] There are indications that, while she was a student, it was in order to demonstrate solidarity with the working class that she took a job in a factory. In addition, from 1931 or possibly earlier, she was undertaking research on behalf of the "Pearson Research Foundation"[1] She had already produced her first piece of published research, an article entitled "A specific detection of cadmium" ("Ein spezifischer Nachweis des Cadmiums"), jointly with F.Pavelka.[3]
