On September 8th 1938 she emigrated with her family and her fiancé
Kurt Schön, who was also expelled from the Vienna University as student at the Medical School, from Austria. They went by train to Koeln/Germany and took a Rhine-cruiser to Rotterdam/Netherlands. Because Erika Terner already had her visa for America and the ticket for the ship “New Amsterdam”, she soon left for New York/USA. Her fiancé had to wait for his visa and followed her in November 1938. On November 18th, 1938 she married Kurt Schoen in New York.
After her husband had bought a medical laboratory, Erika Terner worked there together with him.
