Leonore Goldschmidt (née Zweig; 17 November 1897 in Gosda/Brandenburg, Germany – 7 March 1983 in London, England) was a German teacher who founded the Goldschmidt School in 1935 in Berlin. BiographyLeonore Zweig was the daughter of Wilhelm Zweig, a brickworks owner, and grew up in a village in Lusatia. In 1916 she took her final school exams (Abitur) at the Grunewald-Gymnasium (since 1946 {{illm|Walther-Rathenau-Schule|de|Walther-Rathenau-Schule}}) in Berlin-Grunewald. From 1916 to 1921 she studied English, German and History in Jena and Berlin and received a doctorate from Heidelberg University. She worked as teacher in England and Berlin, 1922 at the Cecilien-Schule in Berlin-Wilmersdorf and from 1925 on at the Sophie-Charlotte-Gymnasium in Berlin-Charlottenburg. Being Jewish she lost her position in 1933. In 1923 Leonore married the lawyer Ernst Goldschmidt. They had two children: Gertrud (1924) and Rudolf (1925). In order to improve her English language skills, in 1931 Leonore travelled to England and studied at St Christopher School in Letchworth. There she met and befriended a Quaker couple, headmaster Mr Lyn Harris and his wife Eleanor Harris. Their educational views, which included senior students being involved in decision-making and promoting freedom, shaped Lenore's educational approach to teaching.[1] In 1934 she worked at the Privaten Jüdischen Waldschule Grunewald (Private Jewish Forest School Grunewald/founded and run by Ms Toni Lessler) at Hagenstraße 56 in Berlin-Grunewald. On 1 May 1935 Leonore Goldschmidt set up her own school in Berlin-Grunewald, at Kronberger Straße 24. In 1934 her cousin {{illm|Alexander Zweig|de|Alexander Zweig}}) had been murdered and Leonore received an inheritance with which she financed her project. The school expanded quickly and comprised four more buildings: at Hohenzollerndamm 102, 105–110 and Berkaer Straße 31. In 1937 the school had 520 students and 40 teachers. The Private Jüdische Schule Dr. Leonore Goldschmidt(Private Jewish School Dr. Leonore Goldschmidt) was granted the official licence to run Abitur exams in 1936. The following year the school became a Examination Centre of the University of Cambridge. The bilingual final examination enabled the students to enter English language universities in Europe and North America, making their emigration easier. When their school was officially shut down on 30 September 1939 the Goldschmidt family emigrated to England together with 80 students and some teachers. They reopened their school in Folkestone and continued until May 1940. Afterwards Leonore Goldschmidt worked as teacher at several private and state-funded schools in England until 1968. After her retirement she studied Russian and lived in London until her death in 1983. Bibliography
