Trude was born in Frankfurt, Germany in 1924 and left for England at age 14 through the Kindertransport program. She lived through the blitzkrieg in London. She sailed across the North Atlantic in late 1943 to be reunited with her parents- Albert and Melanie, and her brother- Harry. She lived in San Francisco until she moved to Millbrae in 2004.
Trude lived her life with honesty, integrity, and decency and was a great friend to all that were lucky enough to be part of her life. A woman of enduring class, she made everyone with whom she interacted feel at ease and a welcome part of her day.
