Gilbert and Eleanor Kraus' remarkable effort to rescue 50 Jewish children from Nazi-controlled Vienna has personal connections to our own Jean Brubaker. The Krause family lived and master-minded their courageous plans from 2125 Cypress Street - Jean's home.
In the spring of 1939, a Philadelphia Jewish lawyer and his wife embarked on a bold plan to rescue 50 children from Nazi-controlled Vienna. In the face of America’s strict immigration laws and deteriorating conditions in Europe, Gilbert and Eleanor Kraus traveled into the heart of the Nazi empire – and created an enduring legacy. While they were coordinating this heroic effort, they were living at 2125 Cypress Street, the current home of Jean Brubaker, Vice-Chair of the Philadelphia Chapter of TTN.
