AHC interview with Alice Terner.

November 3, 2016Alice Terner née Katz was born on October 4th 1925 in Vienna. Her father, who was from an orthodox family in Transylvania, owned an animal feed company in Vienna’s 21st District. Her mother was an artist from Vienna. When Alice started to attend school in 1930, her sister was born. Alice's father was arrested under Nazi rule due to false accusations of money shifting, and the Nazi-regime confiscated his company, even though he was a Romanian citizen. While Alice's father was in prison, her mother sent Alice and her sister on a train to Paris, from where they left for the US with affidavits from their aunt. After arriving in New York Alice and her sister lived with their aunt, for whom Alice worked as a maid. In New York City she met her future husband, whom she had already known in Vienna. Consequently her husband joined the Army.Austrian Heritage Collectio
