"Lotte was my grandmother and she had a fur business in Antwerp after the war. Before the war they lived in Brussels where they also had a store. They left everything behind the day the Germans entered Holland, they fled through the part of France that was not occupied to Portugal where they stayed as refugees till Jack Leyser, if I'm not mistaken,Tinia's ( a Pienick cousin) husband got them visa's for the US. They reached New York a few days before Pearl Harbour, luckily for them because after that the borders were closed to foreigners." -Yvonne (Herson) Scheiner
