    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.
    Description / Table of Contents: Also included is Nini Ungar's questionnaire with the Austrian Heritage Collection, AHC 1536.

    Abstract: The diaries of Toni Ehrlich – 29 handwritten notebooks – document her life on an almost day to day basis, beginning on April 1, 1906 and ending with a single word (“Lo”, meaning “no” in Hebrew) on October 21, 1969. Her thoughts and observations concentrate mostly on matters and issues of art and culture, as well as – to a lesser degree – current events. Private matters, including life changing ones - like her husband’s death -, are mentioned on the side, if at all. The original diaries in old German handwriting are accompanied by detailed summaries in English and a list of names, provided by Irene Miller.

The diary entries take the form of letters to Robert Friedler's wife, Grete. He writes about his love, and the conditions at the camp. At first he is interned at the Paignton camp. He claims that 90 % are Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany, around 500 people, most of them with academic background. A few days after, the are transferred to Prees-Heath. All prisoners had to walk. He writes about cultural activities, inmates giving speeches about academic topics, sports activities, e.g. soccer games. The memoir is well written, and quite witty at times.

    Abstract: Jack Baruch Keil starts his memoir with a brief description of his family's roots in Jaroslav, Poland. His parents had hardly any money, and moved to Berlin in the 1920s, where his father started a business, selling eggs. He was quite successful, even under the severe economic conditions in Berlin. There was also time for young Jack to go on vacations to the Baltic Sea. In 1933, things changed drastically. Nazis devastated his father's store, the eggs were an easy target for causing damage. The family decided to emigrate to Austria where they had relatives, in order to avoid the Nazi threat. His father managed to build up a new business, and young Jack enjoyed the widened family. The memoir also briefly mentioned the political situation in Austria during the 1930s when Austria's governing party suspended the parliament, the Nazis assassinated the chancelor Dollfuss, and when the Nazis annexed Austria in March 1938. Again, the family was persecuted and had to leave. But the family did not even have passports which made it even more complicated to get a visa for emigration. Finally, they all ended up in Belgium, although only his mother had a visa.

    Abstract: The memoirs were written in 1996 at Lisa Seiden's home. The main time covered is her childhood in Vienna and her stay in Bath, England, during the war. Lisa Seiden describes daily life for a child in Vienna--the type of dolls she had, activities on a cold winter day, vaccations on the countryside. In 1938, she was not allowed to go to school anymore. She remembers many details during that time of horros--the anxious expressions in her parents' faces, the constant fear they had while being in the apartment. One day, the Gestapo was looking for her father, Friedrich Leist, but he was warned and did not return home. He had a hise-out and Lisa brought him food. It did not help--a few days later, he was sent to Dachau concentration camp. On December 17, 1938, Lisa and her brother Peter were sent via Kindertransport to England. Since their parents did not get visas for England, they emigrated to Argentine where an uncle lived. Lisa Seiden writes about her time in Englad, her foster parents, schooling, and air raids. In May of 1946, a ship takes Lisa and Peter to their parents in Buenos Aires, Argentine. The memoir includes copies of photographs showing family members, herself, her doll's house, and vaccation trips etc. There also many letters included, as well as bits of Lisa Seiden's brother's (Peter Leist) dairy.

    Abstract: The memoir was written in 1988 in Berlin, Germany. The author describes his childhood in a protestant environment in Freiburg. Helmut Krueger had only sporadic contact to his wide-spread Jewish relatives. His mother Camilla was born in Vienna, where she started her training as an actress with Ferdinand Gregori. Her parents were the Jewish lithograph Eduard Ezechiel Joseph Davidson from Den Haag and Rebecca Stern from Hungary. Helmut's father Max Krueger was a theater director in Konstanz, Muenster and Freiburg. His parents met in Muenster, where both of them were engaged in theater productions. They married in 1912. Max Helmut was born in 1913, Answald in 1918 and in 1923 their sister Brigitte. In 1923 Max Krueger was offered a position in Freiburg, where the family lived until 1932. Rising political tensions in the 1930s. With Hitler's take-over in 1933 his father was forced to resign from his position. Helmut was arrested due to his affiliation to the communist party. His mother decided to convert to Protestantism in order to protect her family. Move to Berlin. With difficulties Helmut continued his interrupted studies at the Technical University in Charlottenburg, Berlin. Increasing persecution of "non-Aryans" and life between hope and despair. Answald and Brigitte were expelled from school due to their "non-Aryan" heritage. Brigitte found refuge in a Swedish Protestant church, where she worked as a secretary and escaped persecution. Terror of the November Pogrom of 1938 in Berlin. Helmut graduated from university in 1939 and was enlisted in the German army. His brother Answald and Helmut were able to remain in the army until 1941. In this way they hoped to be able to protect their family.
    Abstract: After his dismissal as "non-Aryan" Helmut worked as a construction manager of subway bunkers in Berlin and Brest. Increasing difficulties in his position. In 1942 his fiance Hertha was expecting a child. Due to his heritage they were not able to legalize their relationship and lived together under restricted circumstances. Their child Christine Gabriele was born in November 1942. Helmut found an apartment for his mother in the outskirts of Berlin, where he hoped she would be able to remain undiscovered. In 1944 she was denounced and deported to Theresienstadt. In 1945 Answald and Helmut were taken to a forced labor camp for "Organization Todt". Liberation and interrogation by the Americans.
