    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.

    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.
