1899

Her father, Leopold Kraus, and her mother, Olga (née Neubauer), married in Prague in 1899.

1900

They had four children: Robert (1900), Gertrud (1901), Margarethe (1902) and Victor (1903).

Kraus studied piano at the State Academy in Vienna but after graduating decided that what she really loved was dance.

She enrolled again at the State Academy, this time in the modern dance department headed by Gertrud Bodenwieser.

After graduation, she joined Bodenwieser's dance company.

A few months later, she opened a studio and began rehearsing solos to perform by herself.

Her first independent recital took place in a large hall that she hired herself.

Friends warned her of the risk involved, but she said: "If it's going to be a flop, at least it will be a spectacular one!"

On the night that Adolf Hitler was elected chancellor of Germany, Kraus's company performed this piece on the open-air stage in the Burg-garden next to the Hofburg.

In 1933, while she was in Prague performing for the Zionist Congress, leaders of a Czech communist cell contacted her and tried to recruit her for their purposes.

The next day, she went to the Palestine Office in Prague, and applied for immigration.

1935

Kraus moved to Tel Aviv in 1935, first living with friends and then renting a basement that became her studio.
