Her husband was in Buchenwald; She asked permission to stay in Belgium until the family would get their visa in June 1939 (they were registered under number 7832 at the American consulate in Stuttgart). This permission was refused. After Heinrich Grünebaum was released the couple and their baby Alice lived in a hotel in Hamburg. In April 1939 they came to Belgium., illegally. It is not known if they did indeed get their American visa. When Berthold came to Belgium in July 27th, 1940, the whole family lived together in Brussels. They were deported together from Mechelen to Auschwitz on the 20th transport.
