He married a German Jew called Julius Mannheimand when she was pregnant with almost nine months, in 1937, her husband was arrested and sent to the concentration camp of Buchenwald. She was about to be sent equally, but a soldier took pity on her to see her pregnant, according to the story of her life in the Shoah Foundation, collected by the CNN.
Shortly after he gave birth to Reha, a name that the Nazis forced him to choose from an authorized list of Jewish names. Through contact, she achieved her husband’s release, and after selling all her jewels and possessions, they bought a visa for China and the three fled to Shanghaia city that soon fell into Japanese hands, being forced to live again in a ghetto for Jews.
