- Abstract
Beata Moos, née Hamlet (1902--1984) was one of the first German female geoscientists to earn a doctorate. Her father was Jewish, and she married the Jewish geologist August Moos, with whom she had two children. In 1944, she was arrested by the Gestapo in Zagreb/Agram with her family and mother-in-law and taken to a concentration camp. Her motherin- law died in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, her husband was murdered in the Buchenwald concentration camp, and her son survived the war by only a few months. After the war, Beata Moos worked at the Lower Saxony State Office for Soil Research and was an archivist for the German Geological Society. Demanding justice she had to fight for compensation payments.
