Blanka's embarkation card for the SS Marine Marlin

The American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee helped to locate relatives of Blanka's who lived in the United States. Blanka crossed the Atlantic Ocean in the winter on the SS Marine Marlin, a troop transporter. The trip took over two weeks during storms and rough seas. The ship was damaged, and Blanka, along with the other refugees traveling in the lowest quarters, had to walk in water for days.

This photograph shows Blanka's embarkation card for the SS Marine Marlin, with a sailing date in January 1947.
