Biography

Fransi Linhard was born January 13, 1926 in Vienna, Austria. With her brother Peter (b. April 18, 1933), she was among the 50 Jewish children who arrived in the United States thanks to the Kraus Rescue Mission.

Fransi and Peter boarded a train to Berlin with the rest of the children on May 21, 1939. They arrived in Berlin later that day and were scheduled for physical examinations and final processing the following day. From Berlin they went to Hamburg, Germany, and boarded the SS President Harding which left for New York on May 23. Once they arrived in New York the children were taken to the Brith Sholom retreat in Pennsylvania. While there they took courses in civics and US history, as well as English-language training. Fransi, age 13, died of bronchopneumonia on August 28, 1939, in Philadelphia.
