She was born to a Jewish family in Vienna, Austria in 1923.
Her father was Meier Haftel and her mother the former Gisa Braten, both Orthodox Jews.
Forced to flee to France in 1938 after the annexation of Austria by Nazi Germany, Haftel soon after joined her family in England, where they were then interned as' enemy aliens' on the Isle of Man.
It was in the camp that she made her performance debut, appearing in a German- language production of" As You Like It".
In the camp, she heard a concert of the Danish- Icelandic folk singer Engel Lund, and it was exposure to Lund's repertoire, which included traditional Yiddish songs, that inspired Haftel to pursue a musical career.
Living in London after the war, she supported herself doing office work while studying voice and piano and occasionally performing on stage and radio.

Besides this album for Folkways Records, she would later record for the Vanguard, Columbia and MGM labels.
In 1959, her performance of songs from the operas and musicals of the German composer Kurt Weill at the Edinburgh Festival led to much wider awareness of her work; she herself said it made her" a star overnight."
MGM released her albums" The World of Kurt Weill in Song" in 1962 and" A Kurt Weill Cabaret" in 1963.
The label further issued"( Martha Schlamme says:) Kissin's No Sin" in the latter year.
Among her stage performances were Weill's" Mahagonny"( Stratford Festival, Ontario, 1965)," A Kurt Weill Cabaret"( Ravinia Festival, 1967)," Fiddler on the Roof"( as Golde, Broadway, 1968) and several one- woman shows, including" A Woman Without a Man Is..."
