Her parents, owners of a factory for electric appliances, provided their only child with a comfortable upbringing. They nurtured Eva’s fascination with music, which would shape the rest of her life. In 1942, at the age of 21, Eva married Manfred Krutein, who had joined the Navy and received a degree in Naval Architecture. The couple had their first child, daughter Lilo, in 1944 while Manfred was attached to the constantly moving German Navy. In January of 1945, as the Russian army invaded Danzig, Eva fled with Lilo, narrowly escaping death by torpedo on two separate ships. Eventually, Eva and Lilo arrived in Wilhelmshaven, where she finally found Manfred.After moving to Chile in 1951, the Kruteins expanded their family, adding four more children. Eva’s music career flourished while in Chile. She worked as a piano player, opera coach and created a chamber music group, for which she received much recognition. Eva became a champion for the plight of Chile’s poor. She became a volunteer in hospitals and clinics that provided medical care to poor families.The family moved to the United States in 1960, where Eva received her Bachelor of Arts degree and a Master’s degree in Music. She taught music classes at Cal Tech and Pepperdine University. While in the United States, Eva continued to serve as a liaison to American charities and was instrumental in sending aide to Chile’s poor, particularly for education and healthcare.Eva Krutein was a tireless promoter of peace. As a member of SERVAS, Eva traveled the world to learn about other cultures and to develop her own understanding of the circumstances that others face. It was through a SERVAS visit to New Mexico hosted by Harry Willson and Adela Amador that Eva found her publishers for her three memoirs. Eva’s artistic vision and dedication carried over to her writing. This, along with her wide circle of friends and her delight in promoting her books, ensured that her narratives became a literary success.lihat lebih sedikit
