Notes:

In 1993, Mom submitted this notice to the section in AKTUELL (magazine for emigres from Berlin), Issue No. 53. In German: "Bismarck-Lyzeum Grunewald: Mitschülerinnen des, aber auch Hinweise und Informationen über das Bismarck-Lyzeum Grunewald in der Siemensstraße werden von Janina Silbermann gesucht. Wer ging dort in den 30er Jahren zur Schule, wer weiß etwas über ehemalige Schülerin- nen? Bitte, schreiben an: 4116 Wythe Avenue, Richmond VA 23221, USA." Google Translate: "Bismarck-Lyzeum Grunewald: Classmates of the, but also tips and information about the Bismarck-Lyzeum Grunewald in Siemensstraße are wanted by Janina Silbermann. Who went to school there in the 1930s, who knows anything about former schoolgirls? Please write to: 4116 Wythe Avenue, Richmond VA 23221, USA"

Eva Cassirer.

After finding a link to a YouTube video in memory of Eva Cassirer, Mom wrote: "Another friend and classmate of mine! Had a gorgeous house and garden not too far from our apartment." "I only remember Eva C.'s house and garden, nobody of her family, just knew WHO they were "(out of our social circle)."

The Wikipedia article for her says (Google Translate): "The parents divorced a few years after Eva's birth and the mother took on Leo Blumenreich's family name in her second marriage to Leo Blumenreich in 1924 . Eva, who grew up with her mother and stepfather Leo Blumenreich in the same household in a villa in Grunewald Wildpfad 28, kept her maiden name."

Elisabeth Charlotte Lena Jacoby.

When Mom found the You Tube video about Eva Cassirer, I found the following about another classmate: "Evelyn Grossman writes: “My name in Evelyn Joseph Grossman. My mother, Elisabeth Charlotte Lena Jacoby, was saved during the Holocaust by Hannah Sotscheck, the wife of Alfred Cassirer and mother of Eva Cassirer. I am trying to find out more information about Hannah Sotscheck. My mother, who is still alive and well, went to school with Eva at th Bismark Lyceum. Mrs. Sotscheck knew my mom was Jewish, yet she let her stay in her home during the war. " Mom wrote: "I don't remember her, but she obviously must have been in my class; I was at the Bismarck Lyzeum through most of 1935. "

The Wikipedia article on Eva Cassirer states (Google Translate): "Eva was raised in a Christian way by her mother. Despite her Jewish father, she was not necessarily labeled as Jewish during the Nazi era . Eva and her mother hid several “illegal” persons in the basement of their villa who evaded registration by the police authorities. In addition, Eva's former classmate Elisabeth "Lilo" Jacoby was accepted into the household after Eva found her on the street. "]
