Eric (Erich) Erber (1924-2017) was a Viennese Kindertransportee who came to Britain in 1938. He became an architect and settled in the UK.
His father Robert (1895-1978) was an active member of the Austrian socialist movement who worked for the Viennese tram company between the wars; after an unsuccessful escape attempt through Switzerland, he made his way to Britain via Germany and France. He returned to Vienna in 1947, where he became a prominent local politician.
Eric’s mother Anna (1901-1956) left Austria for England on the same train and ship as Eric to take up a domestic service position in London; she returned to Austria with Robert.
