Geiringer, Eva
(b: 11 May 1929)
A neighborhood girl who was the same age as Anne, though not in Anne's circle of friends, possibly because she was very shy. Like Anne, she and her family went into hiding in 1942 and they were also discovered and deported to Auschwitz. Like Anne's father, she survived to tell the story. She introduced him to her mother, who also survived (the two parents married in 1953). Eva wrote a well-reviewed book, Eva's Story about her experiences, published in 1997. She married Zvi Schloss in 1952 and they moved to London and had three daughters. Eva worked as a freelance photographer and then dealt in antiques in her own business. She recently donated, to a museum in Amsterdam, the paintings her father and brother made while they were in hiding. (CE p. 55; AF:B p. 276-7; HLOF p. 240-1, 275, 298; 8 Jan 2006 Dutch news story) |
