- Comments
- Actor and singer born in Hinterbrühl. In Berlin between 1929 and 1933 he worked as a recording artist and acted in more than a dozen German light comedy and musical films. With Hitler's rise to power in 1933, Karlweis, who was of Jewish descent, returned to the Austrian stage, but with the Nazi Anschluss in 1938 he was again forced to flee, first to Switzerland and then Paris. When German forces took Paris in 1940 he fled via Spain to Portugal, whence they made their way to New York.
