Abstract:
This is the translation of Richard Koch's memoir which was originally written in German by his daughter Naomi Laqueur. According to her epilogue, Richard Koch wrote these memoirs until shortly before he died, probably without ever having revised them. She shortened some parts of the original. Originally, the manuscript was handwritten, and then copied by his wife on a very old-fashioned typewriter.
