Eva Goldberg was an acquaintance of Anne Frank and Sanne Ledermann. Eva’s poetry album contains a German-language poem by both of them.[1] There is also a photo which has been preserved of Eva together with Anne and Sanne. Eva's mother, Helene Goldberg-Wechsler, was a sister of Annemarie (Anni) and Henriette (Henni) Wechsler.[2] These aunts of Eva lived on Merwedeplein in Amsterdam.[3] Eva and her parents visited them regularly. Because Eva was German, she was brought into contact with Anne and Sanne, who were also German. In July 1936, Helene Goldberg took a photo of the three girls.[2]

During the family's last visit to Amsterdam, Anne and Sanne wrote a little verse in Eva's poetry album on 29 January 1939.[4] Shortly afterwards, the Goldberg family moved to England.[2] The German government stripped Eva, and presumably also her parents, of her German 'Staatsangehörigkeit' on 12 July of that year.[5] On 24 October she boarded the S.S. Washington from Southampton to the United States. They arrived there on 1 November 1939.[6]

Eva married Czechoslovakian Holocaust survivor Bernard Judd around 1955. She worked at the government department of Motor Vehicles.[7]

In July 1991, she visited the Anne Frank House and donated a print of the photo of herself with Anne and Sanne.[8] Eva Goldberg's poetry album is in the possession of the Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM) in Washington, DC.[9]
