The Winn [Wiener] family:

Josef Winn (1901 Podebrady-1983 New York) was a psychiatrist and a writer. He wrote short stories, aphorisms and commentaries mainly in a satirical and comical style under his pseudonym Alcantara. His works were published largely in “Lidové noviny,” “Tribuna” and “Dobrý den” (satirical biweekly magazine edited by Karel Poláček). Josef Wiener was also a friend and the physician of the members of the “Liberated Theater” Osvobozené Divadlo, a famous Czech avant-garde theatre (1926-1938). Josef Wiener married Hanna Taussig, a daughter of the well-known Prague lawyer Oskar Taussig, and a cousin of the Czech poet Richard Weiner (1884-1937). In August 1939, the Wieners immigrated to the United States with their two daughters, Jana and Marie. They changed their family name from Wiener to Winn, and Josef Wiener thus became Joseph A. Winn. Joseph A. Winn continued with his medical practice as well as with his writings.
