- After being banned by the Nazi government from performing in public in 1933, she sang until 1937 for the Kulturbund Deutscher Juden which she helped to build up under the direction of Kurt Singer. Among others she performed here with the pianist Grete Sultan.
- She became famous in the 1920s and appeared mainly in works of the Baroque period such as J. S. Bach's St Matthew Passion, Handel's Messiah, but also in more modern works such as Gustav Mahler's Das Lied von der Erde.
- She rejected a classification or assessment of people according to religious or national affiliation with the following words: Today I no longer ask: Are you German, are you Jewish or Christian? Today I see in everyone the human being.
- In the Künstlerhilfe she supported other people in danger and was able to help many of them to emigrate. In 1939, she fled with her husband to Amsterdam, where they were both interned in the Westerbork transit camp in 1943, but later escaped and survived the occupation in hiding until 1944.
- From 1935, she took lessons with the singing teacher Alfred Wolfsohn.

- Paula Salomon-Lindberg was specialised in Lied, oratorio and cantata, but occasionally also performed opera.
- Paula's musicality came to light at a young age, but her father found a music study and a possible artistic existence associated with it unacceptable. That is why Paula went to study mathematics in Heidelberg after grammar school. However, when her father died unexpectedly in 1919, she made the switch to music.
- In 1947, she travelled with her husband to Southern France, where they were presented with the pictures of Charlotte, which the couple donated to the Joods Historisch Museum in Amsterdam in 1971.

- In 1929, she gave a guest performance at the Grand Théâtre de Genève.
- After the war, Lindberg-Salomon lived in the Netherlands, was able to fit into Dutch concert life without any problems and worked as a singing teacher at the Amsterdam Music Lyceum and at the summer courses of the Mozarteum in Salzburg.
- Her father was a teacher of classical languages (Religionslehrer) at the gymnasium of Frankenthal, rabbi/hazzan and cantor of the liberal-Jewish community. 'Literally a liberal thinker,' his daughter would later call him, although he took a Spartan approach to raising his only child. Her mother, Paula said later (in an interview), was 'a beautiful woman, painted by countless artists' and much softer than her father - precisely because they were so different, they had a good marriage.
- She was friends with numerous personalities such as Siegfried Ochs, Kurt Singer, Erich Mendelsohn, Alfred Einstein, Paul and Rudolf Hindemith and Albert Schweitzer, and her house became a frequent meeting place for musical and social evenings. The rooms were equipped with a small art collection that was established from about 1928 to 1935, among others with works by Theodoor van Loon, Gustav Schönleber and Ambrosius Bosschaert.
- Salomon-Lindberg received her education mainly in Mannheim and Berlin by Julius von Raatz-Brockmann . Counterpoint she learned from Ernst Toch.
- Her unusual contralto voice was discovered by Siegfried Ochs, senior lecturer in the Oratorio Department of the Conservatoire and conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic Choir. Ochs became her great inspiration and mentor - on his advice she changed her Jewish surname Levi to Lindberg.
- In 1986 she visited Berlin for the first time after the war to open a Charlotte exhibition. The bond with Berlin then intensified.
- At the end of the 1950s, the Salomons released Charlotte's 'Leben? Oder Theater?" and brought it to the attention of the Amsterdam Stedelijk Museum, which exhibited the work in 1961. Ten years later, the Salomons donated it to the Jewish Historical Museum, after which Charlotte's oeuvre became widely known. Paula Lindberg enjoyed this and, after her husband's death in 1976, took on the role of custodian of her stepdaughter's estate.
- She attended the conservatory in Mannheim, later, on the advice of conductor Wilhelm Furtwängler, she studied singing at the Musik-Hochschule in Berlin. There Paula combined her singing lessons with a job as a governess.

- Paul Hindemith dedicated a composition to her.
- Paula Lindberg became widely known as a lieder, oratorio and opera singer. In the years 1928-1933 she sang in all major German cities, but also in Bayreuth and Rome, under conductors such as Furtwängler, Toscanini, Klemperer and Erich Kleiber. She gave the first performance of a song cycle by Igor Stravinsky and she also gave church concerts with Albert Schweitzer on the organ.
- Paula Lindberg's singing career was relatively short due to the political developments of the 1930s and 1940s. Nevertheless, even after the horrors of the war, she remained combative and always looked for ways to make her life meaningful. 'Schrecklich und schön ist das Leben,' she said in an interview in 1997.
- Paula and her husband managed to flee Germany in March 1939. They had emigration papers for the US with them, but stranded in the Netherlands and found temporary shelter with Kurt Singer, who was already in Amsterdam. When the Netherlands was occupied, they were again in danger. In addition to house concerts, Paula also performed with the Nieuw Joods Kamerorkest in the Joodsche Schouwburg (formerly the Hollandsche Schouwburg) at the end of 1941. The Salomons probably went into hiding in 1943, but they were caught during a raid and taken to camp Westerbork, from which they later managed to escape. After a journey past many hiding places, they finally ended up in Limburg, where they were liberated in 1944.
- In 1950, the stateless Salomons were naturalized as Dutch citizens. Paula Lindberg got a job as a singing teacher at the Amsterdam Muzieklyceum, where she founded a vocal quartet with colleagues.
- In 1948, she and her husband received access to the French estate of Charlotte, who had been murdered in Auschwitz in 1943: a life story drawn by her entitled 'Leben? Or Theater?'. In more than a thousand sheets (gouaches) she bears witness to the life of her family between 1917 and 1942. Paula is mercilessly portrayed as a vain and calculating woman who has no regard for her stepdaughter's talents.
- From 1950 to 1981 she gave an annual summer course at the Mozarteum in Salzburg, 'Vom Sprechton zum Sington'. Lyrics were analyzed and young singers trained in German pronunciation. She also taught renowned singers in her private practice in Amsterdam.
- Paula Lindberg was made a Knight in the Order of Orange-Nassau in 1978.
- In addition to her performances, she worked with large working-class choirs - she thought it was important to link singing to her social-democratic ideas.
