Gerson Ehrenberg was the son of the market trader Arnold Ehrenberg.
Following his attendance at the Realgymnasium in the 21st district of Vienna, Gerson was enrolled at the University for World Trade for five semesters between winter semester 1935/36 and winter semester 1937/38. He took the last exam, the mandatory colloquia after the fourth semester, shortly before the Wehrmacht's invasion of Austria.
After a foreign passport was issued to him on December 30, 1938, he applied for support for emigration to Great Britain at the Emigration Department of the Central Welfare Facility of the Jewish Community in Vienna at the end of March 1939, having by then been declared stateless. The very next day, the Jewish student was deregistered from the University for World Trade; he received a certificate of departure. On April 11, 1939, he vacated his apartment at Universumstraße 36/6 (20th district of Vienna).
From April 1939 to July 1960, he lived in England, where he earned a living as a traveling salesman. In July 1948, he acquired British citizenship. Later, he moved to the USA; here, he settled in New York. With explicit reference to the forcibly interrupted studies at the University for World Trade, he received compensation for educational damage from the "Fund for Assistance to Politically Persecuted Persons Living Abroad (Aid Fund)" in the sixties.
