MEDICAL TECHNICIAN STUDENT . . .
Inze hldhahu, kmrkan-BomNU Coed,
Mm German Mother After four Years
One of the happiest events in
the life of University coed Inze
Feldhahn occurred last week.
Miss Feldhahn, American
born citizen of German parent
age, was reunited with her
mother for the first time In
nearly four years, this time
perhaps permanently.
University medical technician
student, Miss Feldhahn is living
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W
F. Day of 4300 South street.
International strife and quirks
of fate have transformed her fam
ily into something of a world or
ganization. Miss Feldhahn is an
American, her riother a German
citizen and her father a natural
ized Australian.
Miss Feldhahn was born in
Teaneck, N. J., 23 years ago. It
was shortly after her parents had
migitated from Germany. News
soon arrived from Germany of
the death of Miss Feldhahn's
grandfather and illness of her
grandmother.
The Feldhahns were obliged
to return to Germany with their
baby. Their intention was to
come back to the United States
as soon as possible, but fate in
terfered. The depression de
veloped In Germany. The Feld
hahns' savings were soon ex
hausted and they were unable to
leave Europe.
In desperation Feldhahn, a civil
engineer, accepted a position in
Persia (now Iran.) He left Ger
many only a week before Hitler's
ascent to power, Mrs. Feldhahn
and her daughter spent a year and
a half in Iran but were back in
Germany when the war broke
out, beginning another era of I
i j -j : -
Udruamp tmu uiauuuidj; chichi.
Miss Feldhahn's father had re
mained in Iran and he was in
terned there by the British in
1941. He was then sent to Aus
tralia where he spent the rest of
the war in internment. The coun
try appealed to him and after his
release In 1945, he decided to stay

and become a citizen. He now
owns a farm there.
Miss Feldhahn and her moth
er attempted to leave Germany
thrnusrh Russia in 1941. They
now consider it fortunate that
their plans were thwarted. A
few days after their scheduled
departure Russia and Germany
were at war.
During the war years in Ber
lin, Miss Feldhahn was evacuated
several times with school groups
to escape allied bombing. Her
mother was once trapped in a col
lapsing building.
"It was all a terrible experi
ence," Miss Feldhahn recalls. "I
certainly wouldn't want to go
through it again."
When they could see the Ger
man collarjse comine. Miss Feld
hahn and her mother drifted west
ward toward the Americans and
away from the Russians. They
were stopped at Elbe, however,
forbidden to join United States
troops in plain sight across the
river.
Finally they slipped into the
American zone. They walked for
j 10 days carrying: all their be-
I longings.
"It's amazing what a person
can endure when it is neces
sary," Miss Feldhahn now de
clares. When they reached Hamburg
they were only two of a vast
number of refugees. There was no
US council in Hamburg, so they
were still unable to establish
American associations but were
advised to go to the American
consul in Berlin.
In an effort to get back to the
German capital, they were picked
up by Russians and jailed for a
dav. Miss Feldhahn was one of a
few persons held for questioning.
Through enorts or ner mow
er she was released only minutes
before she would have been
forced to divulge her American
citizenship. Discovery of this
fact could have been unfortun
ate. Miss Feldhahn said.
After establishing her identity
in Berlin, she began medical tech
nician studies while awaiting a
chance to come to the United
States. That opportunity came in
the spring of 1948. It was made
possible by a Lincoln girl attached
to the Berlin YWCA, Margaret
Day (now Mrs. Carl G. Anthoni).
She arranged for Miss Feldhahn
to work as a housekeeper for her
parents. After the present semes
ter Miss Feldhahn will enter stu
dent technicianship at a local hos
pital. Mrs. Feldhahn, not allowed to
accompany her daughter because
of her German citizenship,
joined her husband in Australia.
She arrived in Vancouver. B. C,
last week. After a short trip
along the Pacific coast. Mrs.
Feldhahn joined her daughter in
Lincoln where she plans to
make her home.
As Miss Feldhahn expresses it:
"We're readv to settle down here
forever. After all that has hap
pened it's hard to describe one's
appreciation for the freedom,
friendliness, cooperation and
beauty of a city like Lincoln."
