Hella Pick was born on April 24, 1929, in Vienna, Austria. Her parents were representatives of a middle class.
Hella Pick was raised by her mother because her parents divorced when she was three-years old. A year after Germany annexed Austria in 1938, Pick’s mother first sent her daughter to the United Kingdom on the kindertransport train, and then joined Hella herself.
While in the country, Hella Pick lived much of the time with different families when her mother worked as live-in domestic servant and cook to earn their living. In August 1939, Pick and her mother settled down in the Lake District where Pick studied English in the Fairfield School at Ambleside, Westmorland. Then, she pursued her education at the London School of Economics.
In 2018, Pick obtained an honorary doctorate from the University of Sussex.
The start of Hella Pick’s career can be counted from 1960 when she joined the staff of the Guardian first as the UN correspondent. During the thirty-seven subsequent years at the magazine, Pick also served as Washington correspondent, East-West affairs correspondent, Diplomatic Editor, and Associate Foreign Affairs Editor.
Beginning in 1998, the journalist has served as a senior consultant for Lord Weidenfeld’s Club of Three and the independent London’s think-tank, the Institute for Strategic Dialogue. Later, she headed its Arts and Culture Programme. On the post, she has taken an active part in managing various international meetings on strategic, economic and arts questions.
Pick has appeared frequently on television for more than twenty years, including the German and Austrian weekly current affairs shows Fruehschoppen and Pressestunde, and BBC’s World Service and World Service TV.
Hella Pick has also served the Advisory Board of the German-Jewish Studies Centre at the University of Sussex.
