Biographical/Historical Information

Albert Ginsburg, a partner in the highly respected hides and skins firm Gebrueder Kristeller in Berlin, married Selma née Heymann, and they had two daughters. Lotte, the younger one, was a sensitive and musically gifted young girl who showed great promise as a concert pianist when she was struck down by illness and died at the age of 20. Her sister Trude (Gertrude) married Walter Salinger. The couple had two children, Marianne, and Fritz (Fred). After 1933, Trude discovered some distant cousins in New York and managed to obtain an affidavit of support, which allowed the family to immigrate to the United States. On March 22, 1939, Trude and her children left Berlin for the Netherlands and England where they were allowed to wait for the papers. In June of 1939, they arrived in the US and settled in Kew Gardens. Trude and Walter Salinger separated.
