Kurt Levi

Of Blessed Memory 1910 - 2000

Kurt Levi was born in 1910 in Wiesbaden, Germany. Already an adult in 1933 when the Nazis took power, Kurt was a practicing attorney who lost his profession through the course of antisemitic legislation. After fleeing the country on a visitor's visa, Kurt eventually succeeded in working through the immigration system and gained entry to the United States in 1937.

He was able to help his parents emigrate to the United Kingdom in 1938 and the family was eventually reunited in the United States in 1941.
