Introduction
My name is Kurt Lenkway. My children, Peter and Brenda, Donald and Margaret, asked me to record for them this small piece of history, the escape from Germany and three years later, the successful immigration to the United States. I hope their children will hear this story and in this way, know something about their grandparents. A copy of this should also go to my sister Yvonne and her husband Leo and Yvonne's children, Larry, Lindy and Sandy, and their children. I have one more request, try to get a copy to John's daughter Karen and her husband
