Dora Gerson (1899–1933) was a prominent German-Jewish singer and actress known for her contributions to the cabaret and film music scenes in the early 20th century. Primarily associated with the genres of cabaret and popular music, Gerson was celebrated for her dynamic performances and emotive singing style. Born in Berlin, she became a significant figure in the vibrant cabaret culture of the Weimar Republic, performing in venues such as the famous Wintergarten. Gerson's repertoire included a mix of original songs and adaptations, often characterized by their poignant themes and social commentary. Notable works include "Die Hölle der Weiber" and "Ich hab' mein Herz in Heidelberg verloren." Her career was tragically cut short when she was killed during the Holocaust, but her legacy endures. Gerson's impact on music is reflected in her pioneering role as a female performer in a male-dominated industry and her influence on future generations of artists. Her story highlights the cultural richness of pre-war Jewish performers in Germany and the devastating loss of artistic voices during the Nazi regime.
