[Biografie] Leopold Hoenig, Anchestors and Descendants, 2009, Chapter 3: Dr. Walter Hirsch (born September 6, 1906), had a doctorate (PhD.) in mathematics. »Our brother Walter also spent four years at the Jewish local school and then entered the Gymnasium till the year 1926, having made the Arbitur after nine years. Since he was a very good scholar, our parents were pleased with his decision to carry on to study at the University. He was very interested in music too, and also went to the Konservatorium in Krefeld for a good few years. He suffered very much with asthma and had to miss many days of the year in school. But in spite of this his reports were always first class. In fact he was always top man in class. Mathematics and Naturwissenschaft were his choice. He studied two semesters at the University in Freiburg and the following seven semesters at the University in Berlin. He was promoted to Doctor of Philosophy October 6, 1931 at the Humboldt University in Berlin. He was then sent, to work as Referendar for two years to Schulfarm Insel-Scharfenberg near Berlin. However, as soon as the Nazis had come to power his career had come to its end and he was no longer allowed to teach and stood no longer any chance in Germany. He emigrated to Italy where he worked as teacher at the Landschulheim Florence (a boarding school of immigrants' children). They had to leave Italy when Hitler and Mussolini became allies. The boarding school carried on in Nice (then unoccupied France) but they soon fell into the hands of the Vichy government and were trapped again. In spite of great efforts of friends and collegues from the U. S. to save him and bring him over to the U. S., he did not get the exit visa to leave France. For several years he went through various camps: Les-Milles De Gurs and finally to Auschwitz in August 1942. - Professor Albert Einstein had agreed to assist Walter should he arrive in the U. S. He had read a manuscript by Walter regarding the Theory of Relativity to be understood by young scholars.«
