In c.1938, Erich sold the butcher's shop to the Dolphin family and fled Germany alongside Rudolf's family and Rudolf's wife's family.
The Stiel family arrived in Tel Aviv where Erich worked at another butchery. Erich married Rosa Hirsch in Palestine in c.1940. They had two children; had two children; Joram Stiel who was born in 1942 and Edna Cox (nee. Steil) who was born in 1945.
