In 1933 we lived at first in Czechoslovakia. as I have mentioned. Then we went to Switzerland and stayed there for about a half year. and then on to Holland and stayed there also for about 6 months. At each stop. my father would talk to the American consul in order to see if we could gain admittance to the United States. and at each stop he was told no. because of the quota systems that existed at that time. Apparently. while we lived in Germany. we technically came under the Polish quota. which was always full. Finally. when we were in England. my father was able to convince the American consul that we should come under the German quota.
