She and her classmates appear in the photo taken during a school trip to the Pyramid of Austerlitz.[2] In September 1936 she left for France as 'Evelyne' Werthauer to play a small role in the Dutch film production De man zonder hart (The man without a heart).[3]

After primary school she went to a different school than Margot. In April 1941, she fled to New York with her parents and brother.[4] There she graduated from Julia Richman High School in Manhattan.
