After
the War
Barbara continued using her talents by dancing, acting and modeling.
With her family lost in concentration camps, she left Amsterdam and moved
to the United States. Dancing did not provide steady income, so Barbara
joined the Ringling Brothers Circus. Then, because she didn't want to
travel with the circus, she took a job in Baltimore, selling cosmetics.
She met Martin Rodbell in an amateur theater group, married him and raised
four children "two for me and two for my sister ." Her husband
won a Nobel Prize in medicine in 1994.

After the war, Barbara rides
an elephant with the circus in America.
