Exile
When a young Eva Kollisch arrives as a refugee in New York in 1940, she finds a community among socialists who share her values and idealism. She soon discovers āthe causeā isnāt as idyllic as it seems. Little does she know this is the beginning of a lifelong commitment to activism and her determination to create radical change in ways that include belonging, love and one's full self. In addition to Eva Kollischās memoirs Girl in Movement (2000) and The Ground Under My Feet (2014), LBIās collections include an oral history interview with Eva conducted in 2014 and the papers of Evaās mother, poet Margarete Kolllisch, which document Evaās childhood experience on the Kindertransport.
