Edith Hahn took on the identity of Christa Denner, went to Munich and survived the war in Germany working there as a forced labourer of the Plantage Mertens asparagus farm in Osterburg and the Bestehorn company in Aschersleben until she was able to marry a German and settle in Brandenburg an der Havel.
The area is also a bustling commercial area with a supermarket, Migros and Denner stores, as well as smaller independent stores.
In 1951, the Young Electric Sign Company in Salt Lake City commissioned Mr. Denner to design an illustration for the manufacturing of the neon sign.
