As a Viennese historian I did a research on the Austrian lawyers who were persecuted during Nazi times and published a momory book under the title "Advokaten 1938" (2010). In your article I found a lot of useful information about Marta Fiedlaender-Garelik. Many thanks! According to all documents I found in Vienna Martha was born on December, 26th 1902 (not 1906). In November 1918 the Austro-Hungarian monarchy broke down and the republic was established. Only in 1919 the law faculty of Vienna's university was opened for women. There was no such thing as a provisional prohibtion for Jewish lawyers to practice on March 31, 1938. Individuals were forbidden to practice on different dates, mostly in May 1938. In September 1938 a law was published saying that Jews could no longer be lawwyers and their names were deleted from the lawyers' roll by end of the year 1938. Few of them - all male - then got special permissions to practice on behalf of other jews.
