When the Russians had fully occupied what became East Germany, my mother found the Communist propaganda in school unbearable so much so that in 1951, at age 17, she and a friend took the great risk of leaving their families to attempt crossing the border into the West. She succeeded, but not without some trials, and two years later was joined by my grandmother and aunt. When in 1953 Tante Ella visited West Germany, she asked my mother whether she wanted to come to New York. And months later my mother did just that, boarding the MS Stockholm in August 1954. Upon arriving in New York she stayed with Tante Ella and days later joined the ranks of the immigrant domestic help, taking a kitchen job in the magnificent townhouse of the Whiteman family on East 65th Street.
