In her later years, she began lecturing about the Holocaust, most often at the William Breman Jewish Heritage Museum. She was the co-author of her memoir, "Nine Lives of a Marriage, A Curious Journey", detailing her survival and life after the holocaust.

I'm sorry to hear about Mrs Friedlander's passing. She was a beautiful spirit and a dear friend to my mother. One of my favorite memories involved a conversation before I went to Budapest--where to go, where to have the best torta. She was right! We had a very lively conversation when I returned. She was a remarkable woman.

My young life growing up as a teenager was working at Threlkeld -Schlemon Assoc. , my parents showroom at Atlanta Decorative Arts Center with Eva . She was an associate with my mother . She was an expert in art and oriental rugs . We were very close working together many years . She was so strong , hard worker , and just resilient like my mother during hard economic times . The design business was tricky . Up and down all of the time ! We all rode it out together. She would tell me stories of her times during World War II being a Hungarian Jew . Her stories were of survival . She was a holocaust survivor! What more can I say . Having a long , close conversation just two weeks ago , we discussed all of her busy schedule . She never stopped!!! She was working on a new book about the life of her mother. I will miss her , and her beautiful accent sounding like Ingrid Bergman . She called me darling .

My dear Lewis and Lynne,
I will miss your smart mother everyday. We had a special friendship. A truly remarkable lady with strength, courage, humor, keen intelligence, imagination and positive influence on everyone. Her memory was incredible. I was in Budapest in December 2015, Eva and I were discussing a fine old coffee house and she told me the location of the building in reference to my hotel. She could discuss the city of her youth, as if she had left it recently. I loved her recollections.
She leaves so many family members and friends behind.
Eva will be missed forever, please know you and your children are in my heart.
Affectionately, Nancy Robinson

I was so saddened to hear of Eva's passing. She was a wonderful friend and neighbor of mine. I would see her often around the property or in our exercise room and we would talk. She always brightened my day.

She was an amazing woman with an amazing life. I had just read the story about her in the AJC a few weeks ago and shared it with others.

My sincerest thoughts and prayers to the family and all who knew her.

Sincerely,
Susan
