Lillian Mattimore was born in the Jewish ghetto of Shanghai, a community made up of refugees from Nazi-occupied Europe. After
her parents, Gerhard Schaie and Anita Gerson, decided to leave Shanghai, the family relocated to the newly established State
of Israel. They traveled to Israel part of the way via ship, crossed through the U.S. on a train that the American authorities
would not allow them to exit, and then continued on to Israel aboard a ship. After she and her family left Israel and officially
immigrated to the U.S., they settled in San Francisco, where other members of her family had already been living.
