His sister Rosa Farb, pharmaceutical student at the University of Vienna and preparing for the final exams ("Rigorosen"), finished her studies and graduate ("Mag. pharm.") on October 31^st, 1938 - but only with the discriminating ceremony of a "Nichtariersponsion", which included that she was banned from her profession at the same time. Max Farb himself was forced to leave the university without a chance to graduate. They both emigrated to Concord West in Sydney, NSW/Australia, where they lived from the late 1940's to late 1950's. Max Farb finally finished his medical studies, graduated and ran a medical practice in Concord West in Sydney, NSW/Australia, assisted by his sister Rosa Farb. Max Farb passed away on December 13^th, 1975. They both were buried at the Jewish section at Rookwood Cemetery in Sydney, NSW/Australia.
