Frances “Fanny” Weinberg Jones was born in Cologne, Germany, March 22, 1924, and emigrated to France right after Kristallnacht. She spent the war years as a hidden child. Her uncles sent her to live with a French farm family.  She spent time at various homes for Jewish children, refugees, and children whose parents were on the run or arrested by the Nazis.  Frances was on the move throughout the war, always ahead of the Vichy forces. Her father died at Auschwitz; her mother survived Theresienstadt. The Quakers brought her younger sister to the United States in 1939. Frances moved to the United States in 1949. She married Ray Jones and had one daughter, Georgia.
