Ein Lebenslauf by Marcel Pauker

She rose rapidly into the Comintern hierarchy, and spent the years 1930-1932 in Paris as a special instructor to the French Communist Party.

Ana was then admitted to the Lenin School in Moscow, which trained the top functionaries of the Comintern. After being arrested and brutally treated on several occasions in 19, Ana and Marcel Pauker went into exile in Prague, Berlin, and Paris. In 1921, she married Marcel Pauker, with whom she would have three children, and both of them joined the Romanian Communist Party after its split with the Social Democrats that year.

In 1915, she joined the Romanian Workers’ Social Democratic Party and stayed with the pro-Bolshevik wing after the Russian Revolution. As a young woman, she worked as a teacher in a Jewish primary school. Her parents were Sarah and Hersh Kaufman Rabinsohn, a kosher butcher. Ana Pauker was born Hannah Rabinsohn to an impoverished Jewish family in Romania.
