When I started working for a leading NY design company in September 1964, a month later Chava joined the company. Her friend and later husband had not yet arrived from Israel. Chava and I become very close friends, a friendship that was continued when I returned to the USA (from Switzerland) in 1969 and worked again with her at the same design firm. She and I had shared many discussions about WW2, where she had been in the infamous camp in Auschwitz, whereas I lived through the hunger and German terror in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Unfortunately, one year later she left the company while I stayed till I moved to Columbia in 1972. Only many years later, in fact only a few years ago,I found her address and picked up our contact. I planned to visit her in NY but only today I found out that she has passed away. I feel it as a great loss. I will always remember her kindly.
