    Abstract: The memoirs were written in the 1970s in the United States. Description of family background. His father Dr. Ernst Ruzicka came from an assimilated Jewish family in Vienna, whereas his mother was born to an orthodox Jewish family in Galicia, Eastern Europe. The marriage only lasted a few years. Martin was raised by a Catholic governess, who contributed to his confusion in religious matters. He was enrolled in a local Gymnasium, and later on continued his studies at the Vienna University.The main part of the memoir concentrates on a detailed reflection and description of the “Halsman-trial” in 1928, where a young Jewish man from Latvia was charged with the murder of his father during an alpine tour in Tyrol. This trial contributed to an open outburst of anti-Semitism in Austria and even received international attention, comparable to the Dreyfus scandal in France a few decades earlier. The author reflects on the different stages of the trial and the increasing anti-Semitism during that process. He also describes the effect on his assimilated paternal family, who expressed their identification with the young Phillippe Halsmann as well as their worries about the injustice done. The father of the author published various articles in the “Neue Freie Presse” about the case and was involved in the trial regarding a crucial witness of the defence. He eventually wrote a book about the Halsman case, which was published in 1930.
    Abstract: On the day of the Anschluss in March of 1938, the author left Austria together with his brother and eventually emigrated to the United States. His father originally disapproved of their decision, assuming nobody would dare to lay a finger on the family of a World War One veteran. He later on was arrested by the Gestapo and sent to Buchenwald concentration camp, where he perished in 1941.
    Abstract: The memoirs end with a reflection on the parallels between the lives of Halsman's and his own family during a trip to Austria in 1973. It includes a petition to the Austrian president Franz Jonas to reverse the verdict in the Halsman case in order to remove a stigma not only from Halsman, but also from Austria.

    Abstract: The book contains an introduction by Paul Weisz and a collection of family letters written during World War II. The letters were written between February 1938 and September 1945. Some were translated into English and complemented by commentary by the editor, Paul Weisz. Paul Weisz' introduction is 10 pages long and serves as a short memoir by itself. He provides a family chronicle, the living circumstances of his family, and his childhood in Vienna. He ends in 1938 when the family was eager to leave Austria. The following years are covered by the various letters he brought together in this book. The authors are cousin Willie, then already in Palestine, his father Samuel, his mother Stephanie, and his sister Ruth. His father and mother fled to Belgium, but were arrested after the beginning of World War II. They were deported to internment camps in France (St. Cyprien). His sister Ruth tried to escape from Austria to Palestine via the Danube. She got stuck in Yugoslavia, and was interned in Sabac internment camp. Paul's mother died in France in 1942, his father was sent to a concentration camp in Poland and murdered. His sister Ruth was murdered in Yugoslavia. Paul was released in Canada, and was enabled to go to college. He later named his children after his family members who did not survive the Nazi terror: Stephanie, Ruth, and Samuel.

    Abstract: Interview with Helen Schuster conducted by Norton B. Stern as part of the Oral History Program of the Archives of the Jewish Community Library of the Jewish Federation-Council of Greater Los Angeles.
    Abstract: From 1901 on the Schuster family resided in Los Angeles, while their business was located at Holbrook, Arizona (involved in stock raising). They were heavily involved with the Jewish community in Los Angeles. They became members of B'nai B'rith (and maintained membership at least until 1917). Very active social life in LA, many Jewish families around. The family home was established in the nine hundred block south of Beacon Street. The members of the family participated in social activities of the principal Jewish Club of pioneer settlers, the Concordia, and later joined the Hillcrest Country Club. Helen Schuster's father Adolf Schuster was born in Westphalia (Germany) in February 1863 (?). His twin brother was Ben Schuster. Adolf immigrated to the USA in 1878 to avoid conscription. The family is related to the Schuster family of San Francisco. Ben came to the USA in 1883 and in 1884 Adolf decided to establish his own business. May 1884, the A.&B. Schuster Company was established, a general merchandise business, at Bernalillo, New Mexico. Their main store was located in Holbrook, Arizona, from 1900 on. They opened branch stores in St. Johns and Whiteriver. Another brother (?) came to Arizona in 1900 to work for the family business. Adolf Schuster became the confidante of the Indians who conducted business in Holbrook because he gave them credit. His Indian name was "The Man who looks like the Other Man" (because of his twin brother Ben). He learned Spanish in order to be able to communicate with the Indians. In 1888 the Holbrook store was destroyed by fire. In the late 1880s the Schusters conducted a freighting business. The Schusters owned wagons and contracted with the Federal Government to haul supplies from Holbrook to Fort Apache (army post). Large number of men and drivers hired.
    Abstract: A.&B. Schuster Company was incorporated in the fall of 1911. (Ben died December 1911) Helen Schuster's brother Richard and later his wife took over the business when Adolf had died in 1934. After she died Helen's cousin operated it for a time, then it was passed on to her. She sold it to the company's manager, who liquidated the business in the late 1960s.

    Abstract: Letter written by Eva Clarke's mother to her daughter describing her life following her deportation in 1941.
    Abstract: Eva Clarke's mother lived in Prague. Her husband was sent to Theresienstadt on November 28, 1941; she was sent a few weeks later. In September 1943 she became pregnant. In December, her parents were sent to the East and never returned. In February 1944, her child, a boy called Dan, was born, but he died after two month of pneumonia. In 1944, they received the news that the Allied Forces were moving across France. In July 1944, she became again pregnant. Her husband was sent away on September 28, she followed on October 1. She never saw her husband again, he was shot during the evacuation of Auschwitz on January 18, 1945. After a short stop in Dresden, she was also sent to Auschwitz. Her parents, sisters and Peter ended in the gas chamber. She and her unborn baby only survived because there were not enough workers, so she was used for slave labor. Dr. Mengele selected her with the words “This time a very good quality”. Shortly afterwards, she was again sent away in a freight train, this time to Freiberg/Saxony, where she manufactured V-1s. When it became obvious in January 1945 that she was pregnant, it was too late to send her back to Auschwitz, so she went to Mauthausen and was brought there with dying women to a camp hospital. During this trip she got her baby. The Americans were not far away, so the Germans were more frightened than she was and the gas chamber of Mauthasen had been blown up only one day before. She and her baby, a girl who first was mistakenly described as a boy, survived the Shoah. She left Czechoslovakia together with her new husband in 1948 and settled in Great Britain.
