Early life
Natalia Karp was born in Kraków, Poland, and began studying piano at the age of four. She moved to Berlin at the age of thirteen and made her debut with the Berlin Philharmonic by eighteen; however, she returned to Poland almost immediately after her mother's death, and married Julius Hubler, a lawyer who opposed her performing.
Postwar career
Natalia reopened her musical training and married Josef Karpf, a Polish diplomat. She went on to give birth to two children after claiming political asylum in London. After removing the "f" from her professional name, Karp continued to perform with the Krakow Philharmonic, which saved many of the Jews in the Kraków-Poszów concentration camp, made nine tours of Germany and continued to perform into her nineties. She would often play on the piano with a pink handkerchief that she had purchased shortly after the war to highlight the feminine dignity she felt she had lost during her time in the concentration camps. Anne Karpf, one of her two children, wrote a book describing her parents' experiences in The War After: Living with the Holocaust, which was released in 1996.
