After World War One he lived briefly in Budapest, sin ce his sister Jozia was there, but he left because of the communist revolution which broke out in 1919. Isidore Colm's father said Ernest paid some professional smugglers to have himself smuggled out across the border. He then settled in Vienn a where he had a coal importing business. As a result of the stock market crash in 1929 he lost a lot of money. He then had to close his business and work for another coal importing firm.
