I was born in Vienna in 1913, studying orthopedics until Hitler’s 1938 invasion forced my family to flee after my brothers were briefly imprisoned in Dachau. I met my future husband Robert on the boat to America, remarkably reuniting when we bumped into each other on Broadway months later, marrying and starting a family after his military service.
