Oh Hedwig I can't wait to tell my mother this story. Are you sure
she's still alive. My mother would be so interested to speak with her.
I have wanted to speak with her about a letter my grandfather smuggled
out of Siberia to her address and she delivered it to my mother who
had been told he died. So many stories! My mother was in touch with
her in Munich but then lost touch. The other part of the story is that
Berti was my mother's first love. They were together through the war
until he was sent to a labor camp (I think that's right). I'll have to
ask Mom all about it. But she was so beautiful! I have many pictures
of the two of them that are also in the photographs that I scanned.
Thank you for sharing that story.
Best to you,
Ilana
If you have any other information please let me know.
