Today we see school records for Helene’s nephew Paul Zerzawy. In the September 29 post, we saw a photo of his classmates from 1915.
The above certificate states that Paul was a student of law and political science at the k.k. German Karl-Ferdinands-Universität in Prague and that on October 15, 1915, he passed the state examination in legal history with a satisfactory score.
We learn from this certificate that he was not yet in the army in early fall of 1915. His earliest letter as a soldier was written in November of 1915, so it appears he completed his legal history exam and was then drafted or joined the army.
The pages below from his university enrollment book show that he returned to the university in 1918. He first enrolled in 1913 when he was 18 years old, attended through 1915 and returned to his studies in 1918 after being discharged from the army.
