In July, Erna was employed by the United States Forces Civil Censorship Division, European Theater and worked in the occupied zones in Germany. Her parents had been deported from Germany in the early 1940s to Riga, Latvia, where they were murdered. Erna and Ruth left for the United States, and arrived in New York at the end of June 1947. Erna married Herman Meyer in New York City in 1948. Herman had also fled Nazi Germany, first for Holland, and then to Kenya with his extended family, before emigrating to the US in 1947.
