Biography

Hans Hermann Fischer (4 Mar 1928) and Ruth Fischer (6 may 1929) were born in Breslau, Germany. In 1939 they were among the passengers of the MS St. Louis with their mother Johanna Gottheiner Fischer. Father had been already able to reach Cuba. After arriving in Cuba, the family was not allowed to disembark. They were sent back to Europe. They disembarked in France. A few months later they tried again, this time successfully. They were reunited with father in Havana and stayed in Cuba for about a year, until February 1941, until they moved to the United States. Hans Fisher became a professor at Rutgers University.
