Feigl was persecuted under National Socialism for racist reasons and expelled from the University of Vienna in 1938. After emigrating to Belgium, he was arrested in 1940, but was able to escape from a French internment camp to Brazil, where he worked as a laboratory manager in the Ministry of Agriculture with the evaluation of mineral resources.
