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.
Also his younger brother Otto Feri (1916-1968), who had studied at the University of World Trade in Vienna ("Hochschule fuer Welthandel" [Vienna University of Economics and Business]) since fall term of 1936/37, also was forced to leave his university before having the chance to finish his studies.
A photo of this father with a note "Dr. Karl Feri, a good friend, † Vienna - couldn't face emigration" is to be found in the documents of Else Pollak, nee Chandler - who was forced to leave the University of Vienna in 1938, too - in the Collection of Women’s Estates/Sammlung Frauennachlaesse at the Department of History of the University of Vienna (No. 179).
