Biography
Evelyn Klein (Altman) was born on June 12, 1930 in Austria-Hungary, the daughter of Hermanda Klein. In 1939, together with her mother, Evelyn sailed on the St Louis refugee ship to Havana. Because they were traveling on Hungarian passports, the Kleins were allowed to disembark in Cuba, where they stayed for two years, emigrating to the United States in 1941. Evelyn later married Don Altman. Hermanda died in 1988 and Evelyn, in 2002.
