Biography

Ruth was born May 4, 1905^[1] in Meudt, Westerburg, Hessen-Nassau, Deutschland.^[2]

She married Rudolf Grünewald and they had a child, Claus Siegfried.^[2]

Rudolf, Ruth, and Claus fled from their home to escape the Holocaust. After arriving in England, Rudolf's travel papers were issued July 12, 1940 in London, with papers for Ruth and Claus issued soon after on July 15, 1940. They left from Liverpool, England August 2, 1940 aboard the SS Eastern Prince, and arrived in Manhattan, New York, New York, United States on August 30, 1940.
