Life and career

A notable percentage of the population there speak both German and Portuguese, including Fett's family. She later moved to Porto Alegre, where she lived until her death. Though raised Lutheran, at the age of 19 Luft converted to Catholicism.^[1] She was a college professor of linguistics and literature, and wrote an opinion column for Veja magazine. Luft's literary work has been translated into other European languages, including German, English and Italian.^[2]
