Today we see Paul Zerzawy’s student body card from the College of Global Trade in Vienna. It was valid until September 30, 1921.

Before enrolling here, Paul attended college in Prague before and after the war, and received his law degree in Vienna in 1920.

Given his level of education and skills, we can appreciate how difficult and frustrating it must have been to come to the U.S. and be unemployable, able only to fall back on his skills as a pianist.

This is one of the few photos I have of Paul at this age – we saw another from 1919 in the January 5 post. He has grown a mustache since leaving the army, which he will keep for the rest of his life.
