A Gleiwitz residence card which gives both her maiden and married names provides her date and place of birth as well as her current address.

In 1935 Margarete sailed to New York. The passenger list gives the same address in Gleiwitz as her residence card and cites a brother in New York. Margarete sailed to New York again in 1936, taking Eva with her.
