    Keywords: Adolescence. ; Families. ; Women authors. ; World War, 1914-1918. ; Vienna (Austria) ; Zurich (Switzerland) ; Diaries ; Autobiographies ; Biographical sources ; Memoirs
    Abstract: The diary was maintained between 1915-1918, when Margarete Schratter was 16-19 years old. Most of this time she spent in Switzerland where she stayed with her aunt Agnes Bloch whose daughter "Hederl" died in 1914. This diary in fact originally belonged to Hederl who could never fill it with entries. Margarete's writing starts with her departure from Vienna, she describes the journey in the train through the alpine landscape. After her arrival in Zurich we get to know her social environment, her new friends. There is an ongoing theme in many of her entries: her affection to a friend of the family, who is quite a few older than herself, and enlisted in the war. World War I is another recurrent theme in her writings. She is most worried about the bad news of losses of thouands of men--her writing also indicates a patriotic stance. She defends her country of origin on several occasions. On December 15, 1915, she returns to Vienna, because her father got sick. Her patriotic feelings stutter when being confronted with the impact of the war. She has to work at the family business and struggles with her stepmother. More and more time passes between her entries. In May 1916, he father finally dies. There is a final short entry in 1918, stating "left home for good".

    Abstract: World War I diary by an unknown author. From an emotional and very personal viewpoint, the diarist expresses a changing philosophy on war and its causes. While at the outbreak of war his stance is a very nationalistic one, he later on declares war to be unacceptable and avoidable, blaming it on the press and on those in power. While he maintains that "the German people are good--they are the victims of their higher-ups", he also states that "war is a syndrome of the sickness in mankind's body". "Animals kill because of need--only man kills because of hatred". In the officialdom of his time, the diarist states, a candidate's religion and piety mattered a great deal. Being anti-Semitic and of arian origin was tantamount to gaining social acceptance. At war's end Germany is left on its knees, but instead of coming together in a common cause, a time of chaos, demoralization and individual selfishness ensued.

    Abstract: In his handwritten diary, Adolf Rawitz describes in detail his war experiences as an officer in the Austrian army during World War I, and his critial attitude towards the war. Most of the letters included are addressed either to his close friend Willy or to Ilse, a woman with whom he was emotionally involved, but who did not respond in kind. As the diary progresses, entries become less and less frequent and are interspersed with personal and philosophical thoughts and comments. In late 1918, during an Italian attack, Rawitz is taken prisoner. He also senses some anti-Semitism from the Polish military. His depression increases and he expresses grave concern about his father's welfare and destiny.
