Kaethe married Max by "Shiduch" in 1927, and moved to Bad Mergentheim. Max became the owner of the largest meat-packing house in Germany at that time. |
After Kristallnacht, Max agreed to apply for a visa, which he finally received from the American
Consulate in Stuttgart. At the end of September 1939, while the borders were all closed already, the family managed to get to Holland, and then got a last minute ship's passage on the last ship to leave Europe before the Germans invaded the Low Countries. On November 10th 1939, the Froehlich family arrived at Ellis Island, New York. |
