After she went to Germany she assumed the name of Rahel or Rachel Funk. Through an unknown agent. there was procured for her a false and fraudulent birth certificate. which stated in effect that she had been born in 1903 in a town in Germany by the name of Ortelsberg. On this fraudulent birth certificate she secured an immigration visa to this country and come over here under this passport and visa. This woman retained the name of Rahel Funk. She sought naturalization under this name. Subsequently her true name was revealed. This woman is now married to a citizen of this country. They have no children. I have heard from the husband in behalf of his wife and have sympathy for his feelings in this matter insofar as her deportation is concerned. In order that there may be no question about the record. let me read from the report of the Department of Labor: This alien testified she was born in Lithuania. and that on account of quota restrictions in that country she went to Germany and secured a fraudulent birth certificate. with which she obtained the immigration visa she presented at the time of her last entry. In her testimony before the commissioner at Ellis Island. this question was asked her: What is your full and correct name? This is the answer she made: Rachel Radin. nee Winklestein or Vinkelstein.
