[1] Goldberg became part of a Soviet espionage group that operated in Europe in World War II that would later be identified by the Abwehr as the Red Orchestra ("Rote Kapelle").

[3] Less than a year later in August 1929, her father again decided to emigrate, settling in a house in Rue des Vétérinaires in Anderlecht , Brussels, to escape the anti-semitic Pogrom's.

[1] In 1936, at the age of fifteen, under the influence of her sister Esther and brother-in-law Marcus Lustbader, she joined a left-wing Jewish sports club "Unite" on Rue des Foulons, that was run by communist militants.

[3] There she prepared lists of people who fought alongside the Republican forces in the Spanish Civil War who had escaped from the internment camps at Gurs and Saint-Cyprien, Pyrénées-Orientales.

[3] After six months when their residence permit had expired, Goldberg and her siblings decided to return to Brussels, necessitating the use of a smuggler who smuggled them into Belgium.

[3] When Goldberg returned to Brussels, she found work as a secretary in a milliner's shop called Modiste de la Reine.

[3] In June 1941, Goldberg was recruited by Hermann Isbutzki[7] to work for a soviet espionage organisation run by the GRU that was later given the name Red Orchestra ("Rote Kapelle") by the German Abwehr.

[2] Her mission was as a replacement or backup for Anton Danilov, a wire telegraphist who was part of a sub-group that was run by Gurevich and that operated from a safehouse at 101 Rue des Atrébates in Etterbeek, Brussels.

[10] Goldberg, who occasionally visited the safehouse to meet the group members and to learn the wireless transmission procedures, wasn't there at the time of the Abwehr raid and escaped arrest.

[12] As Isbutzki never revealed any details of the espionage organisation after being tortured, Goldberg remained safe from the Sonderkommando who arrested so many other members of the Red Orchestra in Belgium and later France and the low countries.

[15] Following a denunciation, Goldberg was arrested by the Gestapo on 4 June 1943 at her home in Forest in Brussels, at the same time as her fiancé Henri Wajnberg and her close friend Laja Bryftreger-Rabinowitch.
