Eventually her brother was able to help Engelmann and their mother to flee Nazi Germany and join him in Turkey where he worked for the Turkish ministry of economics.
•
The surge of power of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party in 1933 dramatically changed the political climate in Germany.
•
This led Engelmann to intensify her efforts for emigration, especially in her correspondence with the American Association of University Women (AAUW).
•
This stay proved to be extremely helpful because the people that Engelmann met during the time, especially her contacts to the American Association of University Women (AAUW) and her knowledge of the country and language, helped her successful immigration and settlement in the USA after she was forced to leave due to the rise of National Socialism in Germany.
•
With the death of her mother in June 1940, Engelmann, at 54 years of age, moved through Russia, Siberia, Mandchuria and Japan to finally reach the USA in 1941.
