Notes |
- Although name is stated to be Howes, it appears that she is a step-child - confirmed by email from Christopher Howes, as follows:
Anita's father was Samuel (I'm pretty sure), last name Kuhn. He was a Hungarian businessman who ran an export business in Shanghai.
However, Anita was told that because he was Jewish her mother's family had the wedding annulled.(Though in research Anita couldn't find proof that the wedding ever took place.) Sometime I believe in the 70's she found out that she had a half brother, might have even been 2, that wanted to meet her. But she never did. And I have no additional information on them.
The family ran a hotel business in Yokohama. (I had the name and address at one point on a business card, but I fear that got lost in moving.) They refused contact with her father. As I understand it, there were serious family problems with Anita being Jewish and apparently they wouldn't allow contact with Samuel. So Sophia took her and emigrated to Vancouver, where she apparently met Earl. At some point the Japaneese government seized the hotel business. After World War 2 the government attempted to make reparations for that. But Sophia declined it and requested it be used towards the rebuilding of the country.

- We have seen later correspondence about this marriage and whether it legally existed. It was eventually determined that because it had not been registered with any of the relevant authorities, not Belgian, Hungarian, or Japanese, it had never legally taken place
