Biography of Ralph Korngold
Author and Socialist, born in Poland but raised in Chicago.
Ralph Korngold was born in Warsaw, Poland on Dec. 29, 1882 (although the Library of Congress authority file lists his birth year as 1886) to a Dutch diamond merchant, Nathan Korngold, and Polish mother, Celina Wrobleski Korngold. He was raised in Amsterdam, Holland with his two sisters, Regina and Sabina, and one brother. His father died from tuberculosis when Korngold was young. Korngold published his first stories when he was seventeen in De Telegraaf, the Amsterdam daily. At the age of nineteen, he received a literary prize for a story printed in De Twintigste Eeuw, a Dutch literary publication.
In 1903, Korngold emigrated to the United States as a correspondent for De Telegraaf. He later settled in Chicago to become the associate editor of the Chicago Daily Socialist. He joined the Socialist Party where he helped to write its platform in 1908; campaigned with Carl Sandburg for the election of Emil Seidel, the first Socialist mayor of Milwaukee, WI; and served as head of the Lecture and Lyceum Bureau of the Party. Ralph met his first wife, Janet Fenimore through the Socialist Party. They married in 1912 and had a son, Arnold Dresden (Bud) in 1913. Korngold resigned from the Party shortly after World War I broke out.
During the War, Korngold entered into several business ventures. He was a successful business executive and at one point served as president of a cutlery manufacturer. His business career allowed him to save enough capital to pursue his passion for writing. In 1924, at the age of 42, Ralph sailed with Janet and Bud for Europe with the plan to settle in the French Riviera where he could focus on his fiction writing career. Disillusioned with their European life, Janet returned to the United States with Bud two years later.
In 1930, the downturn of the economy forced Korngold to return to the United States, where he became a partner in a sales stimulation business in Chicago. Three years later, at the age of fifty, he returned to France to write again, this time devoting himself to historical biography. While in Paris, Korngold met Piri Helen Ozer, a Hungarian girl, whom he married in 1936 once his divorce with Janet was granted.
Korngold published his first major work in 1936, entitled Robespierre, the First Modern Dictator. He and Piri remained in France until 1940, when they were forced to flee due to World War II. They moved to the U. S., where Korngold resumed his business career until 1946 when he suffered a heart attack which exacerbated his already poor health. Several years later Korngold and his wife relocated from Chicago to Santa Barbara, CA. He continued his literary career until his death on Oct. 27, 1964, publishing seven notable works of historical biography between 1936 and 1959.
