| Miriam recalls: “I know that my mother Johanna (Hanni) always told me how well respected our family was in Germany. When we were in Hawaii together we met a gentleman who was rather elderly and since I recognized they both had German accents I got them together to talk......well the gentleman almost had a heartattack when he found out that my mother was ”Frau“ Cassirer!! He kissed her hand and tried to kneel before her!! It turned out he had worked at a factory of the Cassirer family!! (probably their paper factory). It was qite a lesson to me as to what the name Cassirer had meant at one time!!”
