and respect for Elza Huiffner, often called by him and others as ELZO BABY. We did a lot of research on her and her sister Hannah. It seems the family ended in USA. We surveyed town after town, newspapers, even graveyards. It started with Mayor of Bremen, where Elza Huiffner was born. We will eventually present this step by step research for researchers. Right now we can say that Ms Elza Huiffner was daughter of an Air Force pilot of World War one, and we have photographs of her with her mother and many more. She was born on 20th May, 1911. About twenty years old when she met Chughtai artist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>HAPPY BIRTHDAY\u00a0ELZA HUIFFNER!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IN MEMORY OF ELZA HUIFFNER, GERMAN NATIONAL;BORN IN BREMEN, COMPANION OF CHUGHTAI ARTIST.
