Helene (Hella) KATZ who was born on 20 Sept. 1899 in Lemberg (Lvov), Poland . We believe her father was called Joachim KATZ
Helene was one of the young Jewish women who had migrated to Vienna in the course of World War 1 and who firmly grasped the independence made available to them as a result of the upheaval which enabled their emancipation. She studied photography at the Graphischen Lehr- und Versuchsanstalt in Vienna and established her own photographic studio in there at Stubenring 18 in March 1925. She was primarily a portrait photographer but also one of dance and action photography. Among her clients were the Vienna well established society as well as actors dancers and artists. She taught a series of young aspiring photographers who trained in her studio among them Hans Popper, Anton Josef Trčka and Elly Prager Mandovsky (Elly Niebuhr). By 1. April 1939 she had escaped the Nazi persecution to England. (taken in part from From: Anton Holzer: Viennese Female Studio Photographers. Biographical Notes, in: Trude Fleischmann. A Self-Assured Eye. Exhibition catalogue, Vienna 2011 (Hatje Cantz publisher), p. 184-185. ) During her school time the family address was Klosterneuburg, Bahnstraße 27 (close to Vienna, for a time merged into Vienna under the Nazi regime) and was probably still the family home in the time Hella lived independently in Vienna.
Hella's home was in Vienna 5, Zinkgasse 13/4 from October 2 1920 to March 20 1939.

Re: K a t z Helene, Photo Studio, Vienna 1 Stubenring 18IV
On the basis of the communication of the landlord Pm. Gustav L u c h e s s i, Helene Katz long after November 1938 possessed approval from a party office to teach the emigrating photography and to impart the skill (or proficiency) in this (see earlier report).
For this reason she was free from surveillance and was also able to dispose freely of her possessions. She terminated her lease as primary tenant for her studio on April 30,1939, and cleaned it out according to the rules. She turned it over to the landlord without arrears.
Fraulein Katz owned one or two cameras, accessories, and only the most necessary furnishings of minimal worth.
The landlord was never instructed of any administrative hold.
Accordingly a liquidation could not be carried out.

The following article by Anton Holzer, Publisher of "Fotogeschichte" was found at
the WIENER ZEITUNG of December 3/4 2011
On March 21, 1939 Helen arrived in England as a refugee from Nazi persecution, and lived for a while with a Mrs Lloyd, in Oaksend, Oxshott, Surrey.
Then, at some time she moved north and found her home in Yorkshire. She met, and married Ronald LOWIS, a tobacconist, and immersed herself in the local life.
