    Keywords: von Halle, Arthur, ; Germany. ; Emigration and immigration. ; Jewish refugees. ; Jews Persecution 1933-1945. ; Women authors. ; World War, 1939-1945. ; Hamburg (Germany) ; Norway. ; Sweden. ; Autobiographies ; Biographical sources ; Memoirs
    Abstract: The story of Arthur and Elly Von Halle portraits their escape from the Nazis. It was first written down in German by Elly, and in 1991 translated by their daughter Ursula Ettlinger. This is the English translation. The first event describes November 19, 1938, when the family learned that Jews were being arrested by the Gestapo in Hamburg, Germany where they lived. The children left for England and the USA. Arthur fled to Oslo, Norway, in May of 1939, and Elly joined him in November of 1939. They were then unable to proceed to the USA, because the Germans had invaded Norway. On October 26, 1942, they were about to be arrested by the Gestapo. Arthur faked a heart attack, which saved some time. They managed to escape to neutral Sweden, with the help of an underground organization. The escape was demanding and Arthur got sick. They remained in Sweden until the end of the war. After the war they immigrated to the USA, but Arthur never recovered from his ordeal during the war and died in 1948.
