About Ernestine Erna Mayer

http://findingaids.cjh.org/?pID=3187043

Erna Herrmann married Heinrich (usually called Hans) Mayer, the son of Elly Malz and Amalie Mayer. Heinrich Mayer ran his family's textile firm, Leopold Mayer and Sons, with his brother Franz until his brother's death in 1937, and his wife Erna worked as the firm's bookkeeper. Sometime in 1940 Erna and Hans Mayer left Vienna for Shanghai, traveling via train to Berlin and Moscow, across Russia on the Trans-Siberian Railway to Vladivostock, then via boat to Japan before arriving in Shanghai. Hans Mayer died at some point in the 1940s in Shanghai.

Erna and Heinrich Mayer had three children: Alfred, Auguste ("Gusti") and Kaethe. Alfred Mayer and his grandmother Elly Mayer went to England and in the 1950s, Canada, before Alfred Mayer went to the United States. Auguste Mayer married Emil Glauber in 1928; they had two children, George and Lore (later Eleanor G. Feitler). Auguste Glauber left Vienna with George and Lore for the United States in August/ September 1938 while Emil Glauber waited for his American visa in Antwerp, Belgium. The Glauber family eventually settled in Illinois. - Kaethe Mayer married Rudolph ("Rudi") Weiner. Rudolph Weiner was jailed in spring 1938. After his release they went to Chicago, Illinois, where Rudolph Weiner had connections in the laundry business; they later settled in Oakland, California.
