Biographical History
George Boehm was born in Velika Pisanica, Croatia on November 5, 1897. He sailed to Europe from New York City to volunteer in the International Brigades in Spain in February 1937. An artist, Spanish teacher, and interpreter, Boehm was killed during the Battle of the Ebro in July or August 1938. Boehm's wife, Sylvia Diner Boehm, participated in fundraising and support work for the International Briagdes volunteers in New York City. After George Boehm's death, Sylvia married another Spanish Civil War veteran, Leon Acker, who had served with the Jewish battalion of the Dombrowski Brigade of Polish volunteers. In the decades after the war, Sylvia remained active in committees to aid Spanish Refugees and Spanish Civil War veterans.
