Born in Berlin, Germany, in 1929, she was part of a large and loving extended family. She was preceded in death by her sister, Edith Faris. Her parents, Olga and Max Kohn, had many siblings. Life in Germany at that time was full of music, family and peace. In the 1930s, all this changed with the advent of the Nazi regime in Germany. Betty’s family's world was severely changed as the citizenship of Jews was revoked.
