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.

    Abstract: The memoir consists of a bound typescript, enriched with photocopies of photographs, documents, and letters.
    Abstract: The elaborate and thoughtful text contains many personal memories that exceed mere family life. Eric C. Fisher writes about Viennese neighborhoods, life in school, and religious differences between "assimilated" and "orthodox" Jews. Generally, it provides an account of Viennese cultural life between the wars. Fisher writes about his time with a Zionist youth organization; as well as family summer vacations in Croatia and Italy. He recalls the events of March 1938, and the beginning persecution of Jews in Austria. In spring 1939, he was incarcerated by the SS; he and other younger boys were released, but men (among them his father) were taken away. Later the family got transit visas to England, were he lived as a refugee and was interned as an enemy alien. Fisher describes in detail his transfer to Canadian camps and ends with his release in 1942, and the beginning of a new life in Montreal, Canada.

    Abstract: The memoirs were written in 1975 in the United States. Description of the author’s family background. His father Jacob Bock was a schoolteacher, who later in life became principal of a School of Business in Wiener Neustadt. His parents converted to Catholicism shortly after they got married. Childhood memories and recollections of summer vacations in Attersee, near Salzburg. Recollection of his extended family. Scarce contact with his paternal grandmother, who did not approve of her son’s conversion. Rudolf grew up in a family, where religion was hardly mentioned. His father was an outspoken Socialist. First awareness of his Jewish background at age 16. Rising antisemitism in Austria, which also influenced the atmosphere at his school. Student exchange to France in 1931. After graduation he started medical school at the Vienna University in 1933. Description of cultural life in Vienna. The author describes the atmosphere among his family and friends, who, like him, underestimated the dangers of Nazism. Anschluss to Nazi Germany in March of 1938. Life under National socialism and help from Aryan friends to continue his studies. Recollections of the November Pogrom (Kristallnacht) in 1938. Rudolf was not permitted to take his final medical exams and started preparations for his emigration. In 1939 he joined his brother Kurt in Zagreb, where they found support in the local Jewish community. Plan to emigrate to Japan, where their uncle worked as an engineer. Journey to China and Japan. Admission to Peking Union Medical College (PUMUC) founded by the Rockerfeller Foundation, where Rudolf was able to finish his medical training. Description of life in Peking. He graduated in 1941 and specialized in ophthalmology. In the meantime his mother and grandparents arrived in Japan and lived with his brother Kurt. His sister went to England with a children’s transport. His father, who was unfit for travel at that time, died in Vienna in 1941.
    Abstract: Pearl Harbor and closing of the hospital. Rudolf was interrogated because he was believed to be a spy due to his correspondence with his family in Japan.
