Notities over Lina Schnittkin

She attended the Royal Luis School in her hometown from the age of six and received her first piano lessons during this time. From the age of eight she received piano lessons from Prof. Geissler. After finishing school, she went to Berlin, where she studied piano with Felix Dreyschock at the Stern Conservatory from September 1901 to 1903. She received further lessons from Ernest Maria Jedliczka, Max Loewengard and Theodor Isador Schoenberger.

As early as 1902, she became self-employed as a piano teacher in Berlin and taught privately and, according to her own statements, at times at the Stern Conservatory. From 1919 she lived with her brother, the doctor Theodor Schnittkin, in a common household at Belle Alliance Platz until she married on October 31, 1922 and moved to Breslau with her husband, the businessman Max Panofsky. There, too, she worked as a piano teacher again and in April 1930 received approval from the provincial school council there to be allowed to call herself a state-recognized piano teacher. After the divorce in 1930/1931, she moved back to her brother Theodor in Berlin. She lived with him first at Artilleriestraue 21, later Eisenacher Straue 34 in Berlin-Schuneberg.

In Berlin, Lina Panofsky built up a new group of students, which, however, was severely restricted soon after the Nazis came to power in 1933 because she was only allowed to teach Jewish students. After Theodor Schnittkin had been imprisoned in Saxony, Saxonhausenconcentration camp for about two weeks in November 1938, the siblings decided to leave Germany. Lina Panofsky sold her furniture and an Irmler piano at bargain prices and left Berlin with her brother on December 24, 1938. In Bremerhaven they embarked on the SS Scharnhorst of the Norddeutscher Lloyd shipping company for Shanghai, which they reached on February 24, 1939. Her sister Felicia also fled there with her husband. In Shanghai she also worked as a piano teacher again, but remained dependent on the support of aid organizations all the time. From May 18, 1943 to Aug. 15, 1945 she was also forced to live in the Hongkew ghetto established by the Japanese occupiers. Her address there was 275 Kinchow Road.

In 1949 Lina Panofsky - presumably together with her brother Theodor - managed to emigrate to Israel, while her sister Felicia went to the USA. In Kfar Schmarjahu, where her brother Edmund also lived, she became active again as a piano teacher. Since she could not earn a living alone, she was supported by her siblings. At the beginning of 1952, she filed an application for compensation in Berlin, which included damage to professional advancement, property and freedom and was linked to a request for an advance because she was no longer fully able to work because of the tropical diseases she had contracted in Shanghai was. However, she died on Aug. 26, 1952 in Kfar Schmarjahu, so that she no longer had any compensation payments. However, after their death, their siblings asserted claims as heirs, which, with the exception of the compensation for imprisonment, were also granted and, with the waiver of the other siblings, benefited their brother Edmund in Israel in 1960
