Look for information about Erna MAAS

In arranging the papers of my paternal family, the Maas family from
Muhlhausen Germany, I have come across an undated clipping related to
my paternal aunt, Erna MAAS. The clipping is probably from the
Aufbau, the German Jewish newspaper.

The text states (in German) that Martha MARX, 315 Crestview Place,
Teaneck, NJ, is looking for Erna MAAS, who was the district director
of the Hesse-Nassau, Frankfurt am Main branch, of the Reichvereigung
der Juden in Deutschland.

We have some documentation concerning Erna's involvement in
Kindertransports. However, I was also told that she brought some
children with her when she left Germany and turned them over to an
agency when she reached NY. I am trying to verify that story as well.
We know she sailed on the SS Nyassa of the Hamburg-American Line out
of Lisbon on June 3, 1941 (originally scheduled for May 20 but delayed
because of engine problems.) The ship landed in NY on June 14.

I am interested generally in any information about Erna and
specifically how Martha MARX might have known my aunt. Please reply
personally. I appreciate your help.
