The English version is based on a translation by Artificial Intelligence. The authentic version is the German version.

Sándor Weisz was the son of Leopold Weisz (trade agent). He was enrolled at the University for World Trade for four semesters between winter semester 1935/36 and summer semester 1937. On February 21, 1938, he passed the First (general) examination with satisfactory success, but apparently did not receive a certificate. After the 'Anschluss' of Austria, the Jewish student was "officially removed".

At an unknown time, he settled in the United States of America. In American emigration, he changed his name to Alex Sandri White. In the sixties and seventies, he is documented as the director of the publishing house Aurea Publications (Allenhurst, New Jersey), where he published among other things a Dictionary of Hungarian slang (1960), additional dictionaries (Italian, French, and German), and several reference works. As he was presented in such publications with a doctoral title, it can be assumed that he obtained his doctorate at another university after his forced graduation from the Viennese ‘Welthandel’.
