- Biography
- Richard and Kate Gallewski lived in Trebnitz, Germany with their two sons, Manfred and Klaus. Richard endured two weeks of internment in Buchenwald before being released on the basis of his military service in the First World War. The Gallewski family left Germany soon after, in April 1939, after having secured passage on the SS Iberia sailing from Lisbon to Havana. From Cuba the family was able to gain entry into the United States in December 1940.
