ARNOLD WOLF, birth 22 May 1908 STADSKANAAL, died 08 Dec 1975 MALDEN,MA,USA, occupation: EXPORTEUR, lives: , JAVASTRAAT 2, son of BENJAMIN WOLF and JETTCHEN BLUMENKROHN Testimony:- I was born in Assen, Holland in 1908 to Philip (b. 1873 d. 1972**) and Estella (b. 1873 d. 1942) van der Laan Wolf. Before World War 2 broke out, I traveled with my husband and son between France and Holland. When conditions began to deteriorate, we realized that we had to leave. With money and a check from Catholic friends hidden in my son's teddy bear , we journeyed from France across the Mediterranean over the Sahara Desert to Casablanca and Morocco. I was thirty-two years old and pregnant with my second child. My resourceful husband managed to find an uncle in Ohio who signed an affidavi t for us and sent six hundred dollars for the Greek boat to the USA. Upon our arrival in New York on August 1, 1940, my husband lifted our son Bert in the air to show him the statue of liberty. I corresponded with my parents through 1942 until they were taken to Auschwitz and gassed upon arrival. After the war, my husband learned that his mother survived because she boarded with friends where everyone thought of her as just 'grandma'. The teddy bear is now in Vermont in Bert's ski house. I have two sons, four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. *Deceased -------------------------------- **-must be 1942 |
