Bernard Frum papers 

Bernard Frum (b. Bernhard, 1914-1975) was born in Berlin, Germany to Gershon (1878-c.1944) and Lea Frum (née Polinkowsky, 1877-c.1944) and had two brothers, Alexander and Edward. In 1939 Bernard fled Germany for Shanghai, China. His wife, Lucy (also Lucie, née Herrmann, 1906-c.1996) who was not Jewish, joined Bernard a couple of months later and they married in Shanghai in 1939. Bernard’s brother, Alexander, lived in the United States and helped sponsor Bernard and Lucy’s immigration to America. In 1946, Bernard was granted a medical visa and Lucy was granted permission to come with him. Both of Bernard’s parents perished during the war.
