Little is known about Mala Lasser (real name Amelie Eva Ruth Laaser). Born on July 19, 1911 in Königsberg, she published a series of reports, poems and prose texts in the late 1930s in the Jewish (bi)monthly "Der Morgen" and the CV-Zeitung, the organ of the Central-Verein deutscher Staatsbürger jüdischen Glaubens. In the latter, she was editor of the women's page and was still dealing with the question of the self-image of Jewish women in the summer of 1938. In 1937, she met the lawyer and writer Jacob Picard (1883-1967), with whom she became engaged in 1938. The relationship was presumably dissolved in the course of the attempts to emigrate. Mala and her brother Dr. Walter Laaser (1907-1944), who was a member of the Association of German Jews, were able to flee to Great Britain in 1939. Little is known about Mala's time after her emigration. She married 1946 Henry Moyes (1896-1964) and various sources report that a daughter was born in 1946. The brother joined the Allies and was killed in action on August 7, 1944 in the battle of Monte Casino (Italy). Mala's mother Helene was born on February 25, 1872 in Schneiderende. She was murdered in the Litzmannstadt ghetto on January 9, 1942. Her father Isidor Laaser, born in Tilsit in 1866, died in Königsberg on August 6, 1929, before the National Socialists came to power. Mala Laaser probably died in Glasgow in 1953.
