After the war when the political climate of the country changed, she and her husband made the hard choice to leave (escape) with their young daughter, never to see their parents again. They fled into Canada and eventually settled down in Atlanta, Ga., where she started all over again. Her husband's work took them north to New York where she lived until spending her final days in Allentown. She was strong-willed and hard-working regarding every endeavor and challenge faced. Bessie was a great cook, loved to travel and spend time in her garden. She was dedicated to her family and will be missed.
