Singer of World and Folk
A.k.a. Martha Haftel
Martha Schlamme (born Martha Haftel, September 25, 1923 – October 6, 1985) was an Austrian-born American singer and actress.She was born to a Jewish family in Vienna, Austria in 1923. Her father was Meier Haftel and her mother the former Gisa Braten, both Orthodox Jews. Forced to flee to France in 1938 after the annexation of Austria by Nazi Germany, Haftel soon after joined her family in England, where they were then interned as 'enemy aliens' on the Isle of Man. It was in the camp that she made her performance debut, appearing in a German-language production of As You Like It. In the camp, she heard a concert of the Danish-Icelandic folk singer Engel Lund, and it was exposure to Lund's repertoire, which included traditional Yiddish songs, that inspired Haftel to pursue a musical career.
