Moisze Bendet was the son of Abram Weissberg, who worked as a manager in Łódź. After attending a Łódź high school, Moisze enrolled in the winter semester of 1936/37 at the Medical Faculty of the University of Vienna; here he was issued a certificate of completion on February 22, 1937. He was also enrolled at the University for World Trade for only one semester, the winter semester of 1937/38; there was no documentation of the issuance of a certificate of completion. He spent time in Poland between the two studies.
During his studies, he was registered since October 1936 in various apartments in the 9th district of Vienna: Berggasse 29/17, Pramergasse 6/28, Strudlhofgasse 14/11, Bleichergasse 3/2, Schubertgasse 4/10 and until March 21, 1938, Döblinger Hauptstraße 36/7. In between, he returned several times to his birthplace, where he presumably lived with his family in Gdanska 42.
Just over a week after the German Wehrmacht's invasion of Austria as part of the "Anschluss," Moisze Bendet gave up his apartment on Döblinger Hauptstraße. Although foreign Jewish students were formally tolerated at Austrian universities until the "Reichspogromnacht" (November 9/10, 1938), it must have been clear to Moisze Bendet early on that further stay in Vienna in light of the anti-Semitism that was unleashed with brutal ferocity in the context of the "Anschluss" could become life-threatening.
His further fate is unknown.
