Leopold Koss was an eyewitness to the events of World War II. As a medical student in Vienna, he witnessed the Anschluss and the triumphant arrival of German troops into the city. Later he lived through the German siege of Warsaw. In late 1940, he left his family in Poland and escaped across Nazi Germany, only to be beaten by the Gestapo, just yards from freedom. He joined the Free Polish Army in France and watched as France fell before the Nazi onslaught. After more harrowing experiences, he eventually made it to safety in Switzerland, where he finished his medical studies. When Dr. Koss arrived in the United States in 1947 with his wife and young son, he had a foreign medical degree that was not recognized in the United States, he spoke no English and he had only $20 in his pocket. Yet, he rose to the top ranks of the medical profession that honored him with almost every award in his field. His was a true immigrant success story.
