    [Diary entry, 2/8/1939]. (1939)

    Pages: 8 pages : , typed manuscript.
    Year of publication: 1939
    Keywords: Parsonnet, Mia (nee Eimer), ; Jews History 1918-1938. ; 1918-1938 ; Emigration and immigration ; Kristallnacht, 1938. ; Jews History 1918-1938. ; Women authors. ; Austria History Anschluss, 1938. ; Autobiographies ; Biographical sources ; Memoirs
    Abstract: This diary entry (translation from German original) was written on February 8, 1939, just ten days before Mia Parsonnet's family was about to leave Vienna for good. It sums up the three years that had passed after she had written her last diary entry. The first memories cover vacations in the Austrian countryside, followed by the entrance exams for the Academy of Music in Vienna. But the main part of the diary entry is about the events of the "Anschluss" in March 1938, and its consequences--the persecution, imprisonment of family members. Mia Parsonnet remembers in detail listening to Czech radio during the "Czechoslovak Crisis" when Czechoslovakia initiated a partial mobilization in response to rumours of German troop movements. The next threatening event was the pogrom in November 1938, the "Kristallnacht". Mia Parsonnet provides a detailed and intriguing account of the events when the Gestapo tried to get hold of her father who was hiding in the basement. On February 1, 1939, the torture was nearly over for Mia Parsonnet--she got her affidavit for the USA.

    Abstract: The diary by Emmy Rosenbaum is dedicated to her children; it was probably written in the Dominican Republic, in early 1939. The first chapter "March 1938" (14 pages) covers events after 'Anschluss' in Gmuend, Lower Austria, such as the loss of her husband's factory. They escaped to Vienna, where her husband’s colleague was Consul of the Dominican Republic and provided them with visas. At the same time, they registered for US visas. The chapter closes with a description of "Kristallnacht". The second chapter “Ciudad Trujillo, Feb.11, 1939” (15 pages) covers their emigration to the Dominican Republic. The third chapter “Ciudad Trujillo, March 15, 1939” (8 pages) is about settling down in Santo Domingo and the difficulties of adapting to the new culture.
