Greta Rado's childhood and young adult life were shadowed by the anti-semitism of her Austrian homeland. After Hitler's invasion of Austria in 1938, her family fled to Hungary. There they endured the brutal occupation of Budapest by German and Hungarian troops from 1944. In the winter of 1948 Greta, her husband and daughter escaped from Hungary to Austria and travelled to Australia, where their intelligence and capacity for hard work has brought them prosperity and security.
