    Keywords: Saint-Cyprien (Concentration camp) ; Emigration and immigration. ; Kindertransports (Rescue operations) ; Kristallnacht, 1938. ; Belgium. ; France. ; Shanghai (China) ; Autobiographies ; Biographical sources ; Memoirs
    Abstract: The memoir is a translation of a diary written originally in Shanghai, during August and September of 1941, accompanied by clarifying correspondence and notes.
    Abstract: The memoir starts on March 6, 1939, the day when Jerry (Gerhard) Breuer was forced to say goodbye to Vienna. He went to Brussels, Belgium, on a Kindertransport. In 1940, on the day Germany invaded Belgium, he was arrested in Brussels. He was sent on a train (which had the letters “fifth column” written on it) to Camp St. Cyprien, France, which is described in detail. The memoir ends with the departure on his ship to Shanghai.
    Abstract: Also enclosed are 14 "Close shaves" by Jerry Breuer: The first "shave" describes the experience of “Kristallnacht” in November of 1938; he was arrested and brought to the Gestapo headquarters in the first district of Vienna, but then he was released because of his young age. The second episode is about the Kindertransport he took to get out of Nazi-Germany. The next episode is entitled “The certificate”, about the permission to enter the French Concession in Shanghai on May 5, 1939. Episode 4 happened when Jerry's train was bombed. The next one is about money being returned to him at Camp St. Cyprien. Then he resisted to be released from St. Cyprien camp. He lost his luggage on his way to Marseille, which helped sneak past some guards. He had an encounter with a friendly police officer who refused to send him to an internment camp; and he was lent money to pay for his exit visa. The final events took place on the voyage to Shanghai: once they were threatended by an ugly storm; the other time he was accused by a Dutch officer of being a spy for the German army, looking "too blond" for being a Jew.

    Abstract: Trude Neu Lindsey recalls her life in Nazi Germany. Trude Neu had been accepted at the Nuremberg Art Academy in 1930. Her training was interrupted and she was expelled from the school due to the Nazi takeover. Her father lost his factory and soon after contracted diabetes. He died in 1936. In 1938 the family was forced to leave their appartment in Petzoldstrasse in Nuremberg. Recollection of the street terror in the November pogrom in 1938. The family made arrangement to leave the country. Trude was accepted at the German-Jewish refugee commitee in Northern Ireland, where she found a position in a houshold. She left Germany in June 1939. The committee was administered by the Quakers, who organized meetings for the refugees. Trude tried fervently to get papers for her mother and grandmother to leave Germany. Only her mother's papers worked out. Rosa Neu was on the last train leaving Germany in September 1939. They lived at a tight budget but were happy to be reunited. They worked together as a cook and chambermaid in two households. In her sparetime Trude worked on several sketches of the beautiful landscape. Trude and her mother Rosa moved to Belfast and lived in a small apartment. Trude started producing her own collection of painted dolls in different costumes, which she sewed herself (Trude Neu Toy). The Womens' Institute showed interest in her work, and Trude was invited to give speaches. Trude took classes at the Belfast Art Academy in textile design and printing. Her mother worked as a dressmaker and made the acquaintance of the wife of the parliamentary secretary, Sir Harry Mulholland. Trude was offered a job as a textile designer at the York Street Flax Spinning Mills.
    Abstract: She designed also furniture and worked on her sketches. After the war she was transfered to the branch in Manchester. In 1946 Trude had her first exhibition at a gallery in Manchester. Her textile designs were exhibited as well. In 1948 Trude started her training as an occupational therapist and taught art to older pupils. She was sent to Germany under the auspices of the International Refugee Organization as a therapist. She worked in a sanatorium in Heilborn for three months. Trude Neu continued her work as a qualified occupational therapist back in England until her retirement in 1973.
