Bergen-Belsen gets more attention, Fritz Joseph describes daily work routine, and living conditions in the camp. Theresienstadt comes next, and the author points out the good features as opposed to his later experiences in Auschwitz. He describes the efforts to make Theresienstadt look prettier, before the International Red Cross delegation arrived. Soon thereafter, the infamous movie documentary about Thersienstadt was shot. Firtz Joseph describes many details of the false set-up. Then he was separated from his wife and deported to Auschwitz. He describes the selection process, and many other components of the horror.

    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.

    Keywords: Saint-Cyprien (Concentration camp) ; Emigration and immigration. ; Kindertransports (Rescue operations) ; Kristallnacht, 1938. ; Belgium. ; France. ; Shanghai (China) ; Autobiographies ; Biographical sources ; Memoirs
    Abstract: The memoir is a translation of a diary written originally in Shanghai, during August and September of 1941, accompanied by clarifying correspondence and notes.
    Abstract: The memoir starts on March 6, 1939, the day when Jerry (Gerhard) Breuer was forced to say goodbye to Vienna. He went to Brussels, Belgium, on a Kindertransport. In 1940, on the day Germany invaded Belgium, he was arrested in Brussels. He was sent on a train (which had the letters “fifth column” written on it) to Camp St. Cyprien, France, which is described in detail. The memoir ends with the departure on his ship to Shanghai.
    Abstract: Also enclosed are 14 "Close shaves" by Jerry Breuer: The first "shave" describes the experience of “Kristallnacht” in November of 1938; he was arrested and brought to the Gestapo headquarters in the first district of Vienna, but then he was released because of his young age. The second episode is about the Kindertransport he took to get out of Nazi-Germany. The next episode is entitled “The certificate”, about the permission to enter the French Concession in Shanghai on May 5, 1939. Episode 4 happened when Jerry's train was bombed. The next one is about money being returned to him at Camp St. Cyprien. Then he resisted to be released from St. Cyprien camp. He lost his luggage on his way to Marseille, which helped sneak past some guards. He had an encounter with a friendly police officer who refused to send him to an internment camp; and he was lent money to pay for his exit visa. The final events took place on the voyage to Shanghai: once they were threatended by an ugly storm; the other time he was accused by a Dutch officer of being a spy for the German army, looking "too blond" for being a Jew.

    Abstract: Trude Neu Lindsey recalls her life in Nazi Germany. Trude Neu had been accepted at the Nuremberg Art Academy in 1930. 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.
