Stefan Pauson was a basket weaver from Leipzig who may have met Luzie and her father at a trade show. With Luzie’s intervention, Pauson was able to immigrate to England after the government had been reassured that he had employment lined up.

One of Pauson’s daughters, Eva Emmerich, currently resides in Churchill, having come to America by way of Cincinnati in 1952. Emmerich did not personally know Luzie and was surprised to learn that her father’s letters survived and were part of the collection.

Emmerich grew up in Bamberg, Germany, and managed to escape with her family to England in 1939.

“We only had permission for a year on the condition that my father would create employment, not take it away,” said Emmerich. But when the war started, “the unemployment problems resolved overnight.”

Her father was interned for a time on the Isle of Man.

“Once they were assured he was not a spy, they let him out. He had no job, no business,” she said. “He had no way of making a living, he had to scrounge around, but eventually, when he did get ways and means of earning money, he took care of my mother and siblings.”

Emmerich lived as a British subject until “her number came up” in 1952, and she was granted permission by the American Embassy to come to the States.
