Feige Kolik - Fannie Kulick - Fannie Hofstein

Sailing on the steamship George Washington from the German port of Bremen, eighteen year old Feige Kolik arrived alone in New York on the 8th of June 1914. Ellis Island immigration officials recorded Abram Kolik from “Yurevics, Minsk” as her nearest relative, dressmaker as her occupation and uncle Yosself Atlas of 156_ Street New York as her American host.

Feige’s timing was good. World War I started on 28 7月 1914. Feige arrived a few months before transatlantic commercial services from Germany stopped. Her ship, the SS George Washington, was at its Hoboken NJ terminal when war started and remained there until seized by the United States upon its entry into World War I in April 1917.
