Map: Vienna, Austria where Lisl was born.

Lisl was born in Vienna, Austria in 1927. Her father was an accountant in a bank, and Lisl remembers many happy times growing up in Vienna. The Nazi occupation of Austria with the Anschluss altered everything in Lisl’s life. She witnessed persecution of Jews in her neighborhood and in her school. After the November Pogrom (Kristallnacht), Lisl’s parents arranged for Lisl and her younger brother to go on the Kindertransport to England. Lisl was reunited with her parents after the war. She was one of the few "kinder" to find her parents.
