In 1938, after the takeover of power of National-Socialism he was forced to quit his studies for racist reason and to leave the University of Vienna (leaving certificate ["Abgangszeugnis"] issued on June 11

He had to flee Vienna - it is still unclear whether he was able to emigrate in time to survive. His parents and his sister Helene Viktoria (1912-1993) managed to escape to England/Great Britain, where they lived in Surrey and where the father died in September 1949. The mother died in 1978 and the sister in 1993 in Carshalton, Greater London/Great Britain.
