    Oral history interview with Eva Angress

    Overview

    Interview Summary
    Eva Angress was born on August 6, 1921, in Berlin, Germany. Her father, George Kantorowsky, was a rabbi. After Kristallnacht, in December 1938, Rabbi Kantorowsky was arrested and imprisoned in Sachsenhausen concentration camp for six weeks. The family made plans to immigrate to Shanghai, where her paternal uncle lived. Eva and her parents left Berlin in 1940 on a train that went through Russia to Manchuria and then were on a ship for two days before they arrived in Shanghai. Ms. Angress had a brother, whose name was not on the visa; he remained behind in Germany and perished from pneumonia in Auschwitz concentration camp in 1943. The family remained in Shanghai during the war years. Eva met her husband Robert in Shanghai. In 1949, the family successfully immigrated to the United States.
