I was born in February 1914, end of August, beginning of September 1914 we came to Vienna. I can’t remember much from then, I can’t tell you, how it went exactly, I can only tell you that my grandmother lived for a comparatively long time. I first attended primary school in Innsbruck, then junior high school - where I had major difficulties with Latin. To pass junior high, which usually lasts four years I took five years. Then, to avoid Latin for good, I went to the commercial college in Innsbruck.
A fine agosto, inizio settembre 1914 arrivammo a Vienna. All`epoca non avevo una buona memoria. Com`era esattamente non glielo posso dire. Le posso dire soltanto, che mia nonna visse relativamente a lungo. Prima frequentai la scuola elementare a Innsbruck, poi la scuola media - nella quale avevo delle difficoltà enormi con il latino.
