Abstract:
After only two paragraphs dedicated to "Pre-Holocaust Life", Edith Strauss writes about the "Anschluss", describes incidents of persecution, and the family efforts to get out of Austria. They got an affidavit by a Catholic banker from Chicago who they did not know. They emigrated to the USA via Italy. When they arrived in Chicago, there was already a furnished appartment prepared for them. Edith Strauss got married to another refugee from Nazi Germany, Walter J. Strauss. Edith describes her further life events, her education and occupation in Chicago, and their 2 children's.
