Ruth Barnett was born January 23, 1935 in Berlin, Germany, to German citizens Robert Bernd Michaelis and Louise Marie Ventzke. Eight months later, under the Nuremberg Laws, she lost her German citizenship because her father was born Jewish. In 1939, at the age of four, she and her seven year old brother Martin travelled to Britain on a Kindertransport.
She studied at the University of Reading, where she met Bernard Raymond Barnett; they married in 1958. After working as a chemist in industry and as a teacher, Barnett became a psychotherapist an a Holocaust educator.
