Herman (Henry) BORAL, born on November 1^st, 1905 in Wierzbovka/Poland (entitled residency ('heimatberechtigt') for New York/USA, Citizenship: USA), son of Leon Boral (merchant in Brooklyn/NY, USA), lived in Wien 9, Porzellangasse 50/13, was enrolled finally in the fall term 1937/38 at the Medical School in the 4th year of his studies (fall term 1937/38 was validated on February 19th, 1938). He could not continue his studies at the University of Vienna after the "Anschluss". He had already left Vienna on May 30^th, 1937 to travel to the USA. But he returned to Vienna on January 22^nd, 1938 and stayed until March 24^th, 1938 (two weeks after the "Anschluss") in Viennas 9th district, Berggasse 13/I/8, and left Vienna to Basel/Switzerland. It's not able to say for how long he stayed there, as in 1939 he succeeded in finishing his medical studies at the University of Lausanne with the French dissertation "Des anomalies congénitales de la colonne vertébrale et du thorax", from May 15^th, 1939 he stayed once again in Vienna for about two weeks, this time in the Hotel de France in Viennas 1st district - maybe he tried to nostrify his Lausanne dissertation (get ist accredited), but this is not for sure - Schottenring 3, next to the University of Vienna, and went back to New York/USA, his official residency, on May, 28^th, 1939. For a last time, he came back to Vienna for about two weeks on July 2^nd, 1939 and stayed again in the Hotel de France before he headed back to New York on July 14^th, 1939. This is the last time he visited Vienna, regarding to the official records. In the USA he joined the US-army, Medical Corps and later on became a physician in the USA. He passed away in December 1972 in Brooklyn, Kings County, NY (New York)/USA.
