In 1938, after the takeover of power of National-Socialism she was forced to quit her studies for racist reason and to leave the University of Vienna as was her twin sister Felicita Klinghofer, who studied at the Medical School, too, and was also expelled from the University of Vienna.
They both had to leave Austria and were able to emigrate to France.
Irma Klinghofer died five years before her twin sister on June 29th, 2002 in Alès near Montpellier/France.
