She and her late husband Werner left Germany with their own families in early 1939. Eva and Werner met and married in Shanghai China before immigrating to the U.S. in 1947. Eva’s family and friends celebrated the occasion with a private gathering where she lives, which included a Zoom meeting attended by a number of family members and friends around the globe. It was a wonderful celebration of her life and we’d like to thank everyone that participated.
