In 1932 she placed an advert in the Morning Post saying Austria fortnight GBP15 only including rail & hotel arranged by young Viennese Graduette for young people leaving Christmas". For her it was a way to get back home to see her family over Christmas but the popularity of the trip soon saw it develop into a lucrative business. Erna an Austrian javelin champion & handball player soon branched out into parties for the young elite at country houses around Britain becoming something of a matchmaker for the 20- & 30-somethings who flocked to her events year after year. When war came to Europe she joined the BBC listening in on German broadcasts to help the Allied effort. After normality had been restored she grasped the opportunity offered by rising standards of living & grew her eponymous company into a leading travel company in the market by the 1960s introducing many holiday destinations & concepts to the British market.
