Part of her story is shared in this piece from an ARC ensemble recording for Watler Kaufmann's music @ https://www.chandos.net/chanimages/Booklets/CH20170.pdf and a related article @ https://theviolinchannel.com/vc-interview-simon-wynberg-arc-ensembl...

Also a personal observation from someone who knew the family

"I have only one distinct childhood memory of Walter Kaufman in Bombay, but more of Gerty thanks to her visits after the war. She was an exceptjonally vibrant person, the relatively rare kind who could fill a room with energy in her undemonstrative way. "
