She left Vienna with her mother in the summer of 1939. They went to Southampton, England by train to see Kitty’s father, who was interned at Kitchener Camp. Kitty and her mother then boarded the ship Franconia, which brought them to New York on September 1, 1939. They first lived in Brooklyn with Kitty’s aunt, Anna Brenner, who had been able to secure visas for both of them. Kitty’s father was able to come to New York too, and the family moved to an apartment in East New York. Kitty graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School in 1954 and started to work afterwards. In 1982 she graduated from New York University in Art History and became a lecturer at the Museum of Modern Art.Austrian Heritage Collectio
