Eva Goldberg arrives in New York
Eva Goldberg was an acquaintance of Anne Frank and Sanne Ledermann. She and her parents sailed from Southampton for the United States in October 1939.
Shortly after the Goldberg family's last visit to Amsterdam on 29 January 1939, they left for England.[1] The German goverment took away Eva's Staatsangehörigkeit, and presumably that of her parents as well, with effect from 12 July of that same year.[2] On 24 October, they boarded the SS Washington from Southampton for the United States. They arrived there on 1 November 1939.[3]
