Christabel Bielenberg, British writer who described her experiences living in Germany with her husband, the German lawyer, Peter Bielenberg, during the Second World War in two books: The Past is Myself (1968) and The Road Ahead (June 18, 1909 - November 2, 2003) was born Christabel Mary Burton in Totteridge, Hertfordshire to Anglo-Irish parents. She was educated at St Margaret's School, Bushey, Hertfordshire. Her mother, Christabel Harmsworth, was the sister of Lords Northcliffe, Harmsworth, and Rothermere. Christabel won a scholarship to Somerville College, Oxford, but decided instead to study music in Germany. While there she met Peter Bielenberg (1911-2001), two years her junior, who was studying law with a view to joining his father's practice in Hamburg. They married in 1934 and she took German citizenship, which required her to relinquish her British citizenship. The Bielenbergs lived initially in Hamburg, then moved to Berlin and had three sons, Nicholas, Christopher, and John. The heavy Allied bombing raids led Mrs Bielenberg and her children to leave the city, and they eventually settled in the village of Rohrbach, near Furtwangen im Schwarzwald, in the Black Forest. Both Christabel and Peter Bielenberg were opposed to Nazism and following Hitler's rise to power in 1933, participated in anti-Nazi activities. Peter Bielenberg was a close friend of Adam von Trott zu Solz, who was involved in the Stauffenberg bomb plot against Hitler of 1944, and as a result of his suspect political views and this close association he was arrested, interrogated, and imprisoned in Ravensbruck concentration camp following the failure of the plot. In an effort to secure his release, Christabel Bielenberg asked to be interviewed by the Gestapo in order to convince them of her and her husband's political naivety and innocence. She was successful and he was released to a punishment unit but mistakenly allowed leave before joining it. He managed to slip away and remained in hiding near his family until the fighting ended. After the war, she returned to Britain with her children, later visiting Germany as a foreign correspondent for The Observer. In 1948, the family settled in Tullow, County Carlow, Ireland, buying a dilapidated farm called "Munny House", which they transformed into a commercial success. As well as writing her autobiography she became involved with the Irish Peace Marches of the 1970s and lectured in Germany. She was made a Commander of the German Federal Order of Merit and was also awarded a Gold Medal of Merit by the European Parliament. Her experiences during the Second World War were made into the BBC television drama serial Christabel (1988), adapted from her memoir by Dennis Potter. Elizabeth Hurley starred in the title role. In 1974 Christabel described her experiences of attempting to shelter Jews hiding from persecution in the television series The World at War. Christabel Bielenberg sat for sculptor Alan Thornhill for a portrait in clay. The correspondence file relating to the Bielenberg bust is held in the archive of the Henry Moore Foundation's Henry Moore Institute in Leeds and the terracotta remains in the collection of the artist. She had three sons, Nicholas, John and Christopher ("Kim"). Nick's son Andy is an historian at University College Cork; Nick's son Kim works as a journalist in Dublin. Nicholas's wife was Charlotte, daughter of Fritz-Dietlof von der Schulenburg. Christabel Bielenberg died on November 2, 2003 at her family estate in rural Ireland at the age of 94.
