Emmy von Hollander Arnold was born 25 December 1884 in Riga, Latvia, the daughter of Heinrich von Hollander, a professor of law, and his wife Monika. Soon after, the family emigrated to Germany and eventually settled in Halle a. d. Saale. Emmy grew up there and, in 1909, married Eberhard Arnold. In 1920, after many years of active evangelistic work and search for full Christian discipleship, they started to live in community with their children, Emmy's sister Else von Hollander and others. Emmy 's other two sisters joined them. Later they adopted the name<em> Bruderhof</em> from the Hutterian Anabaptists. Eberhard acknowledged his indebtedness to Emmy on this journey of faith. The Bruderhof movement (Society of Brothers) recognized her important contribution to their life and history. Emmy died in the Woodcrest Bruderhof, in New Yorkstate on 15 January 1980. She was faithful, courageous, and possessed childlike joy into her 96th year.
