Felix Axelrad (1903-1979) was born in Belgrade. He studied chemical engineering at the Vienna Technical Institute and the Berlin Technical University and worked in Berlin, Budapest, and Vienna. He married Hedwig (Hedi) Traub (1907-1999) from Vienna and had daughter Eva Axelrad (later Choper) in 1937. The family found temporary refuge in Istanbul along with Felix’s mother Leontine (1878-1969, from Zilinia, Czechoslovakia), his brother Desider (1899-1982), and his sister in law Rozina (1902-1968, from Tzmir, Turkey).
