Famous Curious George

To escape persecution, as a Jew, Hans Augusto Rey and his wife, Margaret, had to escape Paris just before the German occupation in 1940. Hans created 2 bicycles to use to cycle to safety, fleeing with his monkey drawings and his life. Later the Curious George books were published in New York, and Hans was listed as illustrator, and Margaret as story writer.
