Ronnie Reutlinger Breslow was born in Kircheim, Germany. She enjoyed collecting stamps, many of which were gifts from her Uncle Willy. Her parents owned a dry goods store located below their home but the Nazis passed a series of anti-Semitic laws between 1933 and 1939 that severely restricted Ronnie from attending school and her parents’ business.
They knew they had to leave Germany.
Her father found passage to Cuba and then Ronnie and her mother purchased two tickets on the St. Louis.
