Fatal error: Call to undefined function isLitsy() in /var/www/html/inc_magicDB.php on line 425- Doris Orgel, née Adelberg, was born to a Jewish family in Vienna, Austria. Her parents were Ernst and Erna Adelberg, and she had an older sister, Charlotte. In 1938, they fled the country to escape Nazi persecution. After a long journey and stays in Zagreb, Yugoslavia, and London, England, the family was able to emigrate to the USA in 1939.
Doris attended Radcliffe College from 1946 to 1948, and graduated cum laude from Barnard College in 1950. She became an award-winning children's author.
Her first original book, Sarah's Room (1963), was illustrated by Maurice Sendak.
Doris Orgel was best known for her semi-autobiographical novel The Devil in Vienna (1978), which received a Golden Kite Honor Book Award, Sydney Taylor Book Award, and was named a Phoenix Award Honor Book. It was adapted into a 1988 Disney Channel film called A Friendship in Vienna. She also translated children's books from German to English. Two of her translations, Nero Corleone: a Cat's Story by Elke Heidenreich, and Daniel Half Human by David Chotjewitz, were named Mildred L. Batchelder Honor Books. She was married to Shelley Orgel, a physician specializing in psychoanalysis, with whom she had three children.
