Scope and Content Note
Heinz Grundland (1905-1997) was born in Nikolai, in what is now Poland. Edith Grundland (1908-1998) was born in Berlin. They lived in Breslau, where he worked in the lumber business. They sailed to Shanghai in April 1939. They lived in the French Concession at 149 Route de Sayzoong. Heinz worked as a pedicurist and masseur, and Edith did manicures and facials. After the war, Edith was able to come to the United States in June 1948, while Heinz had to wait, because he fell under the Polish quota. He sailed to Vancouver, and later was able to enter the US. They lived and worked in San Francisco, and later retired to Laguna Hills, CA.
