    Pages: 8 + 12 , typescript.

    Keywords: Tepper, Elsa, ; Tepper, Minna. ; Tepper, Wilhelm, ; Auschwitz (Concentration camp) ; Salaspils (Concentration camp) ; Stutthof (Concentration camp) ; Forced labor. ; Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) ; Holocaust survivors. ; World War, 1939-1945. ; Women authors. ; Lauenburg (Germany) ; Rīga (Latvia) ; Vienna (Austria) ; Autobiographies ; Biographical sources ; Memoirs
    Abstract: The memoir was written 1946 in Austria, shortly after her liberation. Minna recalls her deportation in February 1942. She was taken to Riga together with her parents and her husband. Her mother was killed upon their arrival. Her father and her husband were taken to Salaspils for forced labor, where the later perished. Minna, who was pregnant with her first child, was forced to undergo an abortion. She describes her experiences of Nazi sadism in the Ghetto of Riga, especially by the Ghetto commanders Krause and Roschmann. In 1943 Minna was taken for peat cutting labor to Olaine. In November 1943 Minna and her father were reunited at the concentration camp Kaiserwald near Riga. From there both were taken to Spilve - a labor camp at a German air base, which was under worse conditions than the first camp. They worked in the cold without appropriate shoes and in thin clothes. Due to the exhausting conditions Minna's father Wilhelm was getting weaker and eventually was deported to Auschwitz in April 1944. Minna was taken to Stutthof, which was overcrowded and in primitive conditions. They were taken to an exterior labor camp, where they had to build trenches for the German defense in the rain and cold. They suffered of constant hunger. In January 1945 the camp was dissolved and all sick and disabled were killed. They were marched under exhausting conditions in the snow and cold. For all missing women ten others were chosen randomly to be killed. After a week Minna was finally too exhausted to continue walking and stayed behind. The guard who was supposed to kill her fired the bullet over her head and left her for dead in the snow. She was rescued and brought to a house, where she was given food and a place to sleep. She was discovered by a German police officer, who was about to shoot her along with other Jewish fugitives. Minna was saved by her Viennese accent, which convinced him that she was a gentile woman.
    Abstract: She was taken to a mobile army hospital and treated for her frozen feet. In March 1945 Minna was liberated in Lauenburg, Prussia, where she was sent by German hospitals as an unidentified Jewish patient.

    Abstract: This manuscript is a bound compilation of 4 short prose stories about rural life, often set in the past. The first tale recounts a young man's journey from his village home into the city of Jerusalem during the early Christian period, and then continues with his return from the city back to his village. Similarly, the story "Celestial happiness" touches briefly on biblical or mystical themes. The remaining two stories offer variations on a theme -- the arrival of a mysterious stranger disrupts the peaceful life of a village. The stories generally are light-hearted in tone, often a bit comic.

    Abstract: Elisabeth Bab née Loos recollects her childhood as the only child of an affluent Protestant family in Kiel. She was later enrolled in a girls school in Berlin. She describes her teacher, the women's activist Helene Lange. Attending the Lehrerinnenseminar (teacher's seminary), she became increasingly interested and involved in the women’s movement. Upon graduation she found a teaching position in London. She describes her experience working as an educator in an aristocratic family. She next took a teaching position in Potsdam. Following this, she moved to Bonn to complete her university studies. She describes university life in Bonn, including social aspects. Due to the tight financial situation in her family her dream to study medicine could not be fulfilled. Her father died in 1904. Elisabeth moved to Berlin to continue her studies. She met Julius Bab through literary events in Berlin and a courtship ensued. She describes the reaction of the Bab family to their son marrying a gentile. After their wedding Elizabeth found a position as a teacher in a private school and Julius worked as a dramatic adviser in a theater. Both continued their studies at the Berlin University. She describes the birth and raising of her three children. She also describes her social and professional life as part of the literary, theatrical, and artistic community that existed in Berlin during this time. After describing life during World War One, she discusses the continued social and familial events in her life amid the backdrop of the Weimar Republic and the rise of the Nazis to power. The Babs became involved in the foundation of the “Kulturbund Deutscher Juden.” As Nazi persecution increased the family sought exist visas to leave. The Babs managed to emigrate to Paris in 1939.
    Abstract: At the outbreak of World War II, Julius Bab was interred by the French authorities as an enemy alien. Elisabeth describes the subsequent German occupation of France in 1940, and the methods in which the Bab’s managed to make it to New York in the same year.

    Babys Tagebuch, (1927-1939)
    Details
    Language: German
    Pages: 144 pages.
    Year of publication: 1927-1939
    Keywords: Mayer, Gerda (née Stein) ; Childbirth ; Families Children. ; Jews Persecutions ; Jews Persecutions ; Diaries ; Autobiographies ; Biographical sources ; Diaries. ; Autobiography.
    Abstract: “Babys Tagebuch” (Baby's Diary) started as a commercially available book about baby care [Moro-Drasch, Irene : Babys Tagebuch , Merkblaetter und die Grundzuege der Saeuglingspflege ; Graz 1925]. The book had empty pages to keep schedule of the baby’s development. Gerda Mayer's parents, Arnold and Erna Stein, made good use of it, and did not stop writing entries (with Arnold contributing to 50 pages in his rounded handwriting, and Erna contributing to 27 pages in her more formal hand). When their daughter grew older, the baby diary developed into a regular diary, in which they were addressing their daughter Gerda. They talk about their time together, their activities, but also the political events that affected the family, like anti-Semitism. The Steins kept a diary of their daughter Gerda from her birth in 1927 until her departure to England in 1939. There are also little drawings and scribbles by young Gerti.

    Year of publication: 1930-1933
    Keywords: Jewish lawyers ; Thuringia (Germany) Personal narratives. Social life and customs ; Memoirs ; Autobiographies ; Biographical sources ; Lawyers ; Genealogy
    Abstract: The three volumes of Jacob Simon’s Memoirs (Lebens Erinnerungen) were written in the postwar period 1919-1933. In Volume I he writes about his family’s 19th century history and his own life experiences in pre-Holocaust Germany. Based on his own genealogical research he displays a family tree which traces the family’s roots back to Vitus von Worms in Frankfurt in 1485. Starting from the 18th century he shows connections to Hoffactor Simon Levi Simon (1749-1826), the progenitor of the Simon family in Hildburghausen. Volume II deals entirely with his law practice. More than 100 cases are described in anecdotal form; these cases are grouped in a legal outline format and range from sexual offenses to Communist riots. Much discussion deals with the difficulty in making the transition from medieval property law to the civil code (BGB) in a still largely agrarian society. In Volume III he discusses philosophy, Jewish history, politics, and Judaism. In the supplement to this volume are included sections on Yiddish expressions and 19th century Hildburghausen recollections.
    Abstract: In addition the collection contains a complete English translation of the original three German volumes. Five recently discovered notebooks hand-written in old German script that appear to be the original draft of Volume I are also displayed.
    Abstract: Memoirs and family history dating back to the 15th century.

    Abstract: From 1929 until his emigration to the United States, Albert Einstein spent the summer months in a wooden summer house in the village of Caputh, just outside of Berlin. There he held a guestbook, given to him by a neighbor, which was signed by many of his visitors. On page 2, Einstein encouraged his visitors to sign the guestbook in verse, putting his demand into a humorous little poem under the title “Decree” - “Verordnung”, signed by “the landlord” – “der Hausherr”. In the fall of 1931, the artist Hermann Struck illustrated the top of page 4; it then was signed, among others, by Chaim Weizmann, visiting from London.
