Sophia Engler left Scotland with her mother, who had joined her, and they returned to Vienna in 1946."For me, it was hard to find my feet again in Vienna. At the beginning I was frightened. I mean every time I went out on the street I would see men and I would think to myself ‘where were you during the war?’ I studied medicine and in June 1952, I graduated from the medical faculty after 10 semesters and by the age of 22, I was the youngest doctor in Austria. In 1959 I married, a year later I had the first of three children.My mother, Klari Engler, died at the age of 94 in 1994. She was a woman born in the age of emperor Franz Josef, in the Austro-Hungarian empire. She married and raised a family in Austria’s doomed first republic. Her husband was taken from her by the Nazis and murdered. So was her own mother, and most of her family. She sent me to safety in England, and followed me there. In fact, her whole life was dedicated to protecting me and she was just as protective and loving to her grandchildren. Klari Engler and the five sisters are long gone now."
