Fran Hosken Porges wrote (2005) :
" We fled from Vienna in March of 1938 - my mother and I- 5 days after Hitler took Vienna. My brother, Dr. Karl Porges, left in July - after hiding some of the time - and my father joined us in Jugoslavia in early September. After all kinds of complications we managed to get visas for the US in Switzerland and arrived in New York late October '38 (by ship - there were no planes). "
