No, I"m not! But they were involved with the relief committee for imprisoned anarchists in Russia--in Berlin in the mid twenties, where I believe Goldman went when she left Petrograd. I can imagine there was overlap there. Look forward to learning more.

They were, in effect, the first family of anarcho-syndicalism; Milly Witkop was also an important activist in the feminist movement during the late 19th/early 20th century era. They were slightly younger contemporaries of Emma Goldman, and while I have no idea whether they knew one another they certainly would have been aware of each other's existence & writings, since their political orientations were so similar.
I think you might find their story interesting...
