Biographical Note
Eva C. Schiller Janusaukas was born in 1929 in Vienna, Austria to Karl Arpad and Selma Schiller. She and her twin brother Ernst were raised in a children’s home. Their older sister Suse died in 1937 at the age of ten of scarlet fever; their father, who was of Jewish descent, committed suicide before the “Anschluss”. In 1939, Eva and Ernst were sent to Sweden on a Kindertransport organized by the "Swedish/Israel Mission" to escape Nazi persecution as “Mischlinge” (“half-Jews”). Eva lived with a Swedish school teacher's family who treated her badly. She got married in 1949 and immigrated to the United States in 1951.
