    Abstract: In the first chapter, “Holocaust and I”, Robert Treuer describes his youth in Vienna/Austria, how he grew up and how the anti-Semitism became more and more apparent in Austria. After the Anschluss, his father decided for him and his mother to leave the country. They emigrated to England where his mother worked as a housekeeper. Robert Treuer was separated from his mother, because the employer did not want another child in the house. His father was still in Austria. After being abused at school, his uncle took him away and brought him to a nearby tent camp in London. After a while, his father got the chance to escape from Austria and came to England as well. Although Robert Treuer’s father wrote letters to many countries to immigrate, only the United States allowed them to enter. Together with his parents he immigrated to the United States on February 9, 1939. In the second chapter, “Redemption. Searching for Trude and Irma”, Robert Treuer returned for a trip to Germany with two of his children and visited some of the concentration camps. During his stay in Germany, all the memories of the cruelty of the Nazi regime came back. He also talks about his cousin Erika and her family in Vienna and Hohenau. She was sent to England with the Kindertransport and never saw any member of his family again.
    Abstract: Also included are Robert Treuer's questionnaire with the Austrian Heritage Collection and a curriculum vitae.

    Abstract: Max Liebmann describes his school life and how unbearable conditions grew after Hitler was elected chancellor. One time a pupil harassed him, but he fought back. He stayed in public school until 1937, and then attended a private school. He had to leave school after “Kristallnacht”, when all Jews were excluded from non-Jewish schools. In March 1938, his father had left for Greece in order to explore new business possibilities. Max Liebmann never saw him again. With the outbreak of World War II, Max Liebmann took his grandmother, who was French Alsatian, to the Swiss border. But Switzerland did not permit her to enter the country, so she went to Nancy and later to Bordeaux. During the war discrimination increased and culminated in Max Liebmann being sent to Eastern Germany to harvest. He describes himself as one of the first slave laborers of the Reich. In 1940, Max Liebmann started to work for the “Hilfsverein”. On October 21, 1940, the “Hilfsverein” was closed and he was deported to France the next day. On October, 25, Max Liebmann arrived at the camp of Gurs in Southwestern France. He managed to get out of the camp just weeks before its closure on August 1, 1942, and the beginning of the first deportations to Auschwitz. He hid in several places in unoccupied France with the help of local residents. He later managed to escape to Switzerland with the help of a Swiss militia man. In Switzerland, he worked in a refugee camp. On February 28, 1943, his girlfriend Hanne, whom he had met in Gurs, came to Switzerland. She first lived with relatives, but left them on Christmas Eve 1944 when personal frictions became too heavy. Max Liebmann married Hanne on April 14, 1945 in Geneva. Their daughter was born on March 4, 1946. In 1948, the family left for the United States.
    Abstract: Max Liebmann ends his memoir with giving a few remarks on Swiss policy concerning Jewish immigration and also on their policy of blocking them from their money in Swiss bank accounts.

The manuscript is divided into sections on each family, and then further subdivided into topical headings and short biographies of individual family members; some family tree diagrams are also included. For the most part the tone is rather more like a memoir, as Oliven offers his recollections of anecdotes from the lives of members of his extended family. Longer sections are devoted to Klaus Oliven's immediate family, including his father Fritz Oliven, who was known as the humorist and librettist Rideamus. There is also a section on the family of his wife Seldi Reifen.

Description of the Frankfurt Jewish community, where Hilde’s father was the leader of the Gemeinde. Hilde had private lessons in Hebrew with the rabbi Caesar Seligmann. Hilde reflects on the time leading up to the rise of Nazism in Germany. She was a law student and was already very aware of the dangers of National Socialism prior to 1933 due to her frequent travels abroad. In 1931 she worked in an internship at a law firm in London. After the overwhelming success of the Nazis at the elections she decided not to return to Germany, since she did not see a future for herself as a woman and a Jew. Her father convinced her to finish her studies in Germany. Continuation of studies in Freiburg and encounter with Nazi student groups as a member of the social-democratic student faction. Graduation and Referendar position in Limburg in 1932. In March of 1933 she left Germany with her sister Edith for England, being warned by colleagues at court of the anti-Jewish boycot. They crossed the Dutch border and waited for invitations from relatives in London in order to get an entry permit for England. They were warmly received by the Heim family and settled in London. Difficulties of finding work. Hilde was introduced to influential British journalists and politicians, who disregarded her concerns of the possible dangers of Nazi Germany.

Her mother started preparations to leave without the knowledge of her husband. Observations about life in Nazi Germany. Trip to Palestine in 1936. In 1938, only weeks before “Kristallnacht”, Hilde’s parents joined her in London, before they went to the United States. Her sister Edith had already left with her husband for Seattle in 1936. Preperations for Hilde’s emigration to the United States. She arrived in Seattle in the winter of 1938.

    Abstract: Kurt Heinrich provides information about his family history in Burgenland. Only briefly before his birth, his parents had left Burgenland for Vienna. Since his parents were a Jew and a Catholic, they were looking for a more tolerant environment. Kurt Heinrich went back to Burgenland for vacations. The memoir covers these stays where he met family members, but Kurt Heinrich also talks about also daily routines, e.g. food, and childhood activities. Only the last page refers to the family's persecution after the Anschluss of Austria to Nazi Germany, and the following emigration of the family to Buenos Aires, Argentina.

They married in 1912. Phillippe was the youngest of four children. His father Baruch, an orthodox Jew, was a strict but a just and kind-hearted man. He was a fervent German patriot and an admirer of German culture, which left him blind folded to the events of the Nazi era and ultimately led to his end in Auschwitz. The children were brought up with German education. Phillippe's older brother Sally was a member of Agudat Yisroel and prepared himself for emigration to Palestine (hakhsharah), which their father strongly opposed. Despite the anti-Jewish boycott the business still continued to do well until 1938. With the "Kristallnacht" on November 9th 1938 things deteriorated rapidly. The family, who had been granted German citizenship, became stateless. During "Kristallnacht" the entire apartment and their shop were devastated. In 1939 Phillippe joined a children's transport to the Netherlands. 1940 the Germans entered the Netherlands. Phillippe's brother Sally and his sister Martha crossed the border illegally to Belgium, where Sally contracted TB and died shortly after the Germans entered the country. Through the help of the "Resistence" Phillippe was reunited with his sister and mother in Antwerp, Belgium. They managed to get to Southern France, where their mother died of exhaustion. Through adventurous circumstances Phillippe managed to cross the border to Switzerland together with his sister and her husband.
    Abstract: He was taken to a military camp near Zurich. It was in poor conditions, but they had a rich cultural life due to many famous inmates such as the singer Josef Schmidt and the writer Manes Sperber. Transfer to a family camp in Morgin, where he got married to his inmate Esther Rothstein. Post-war life in France. 1946 birth of his oldest son Sami in Lyon. French citizenship in 1949.

    Abstract: The businessman Josef Schleich was born in 1902 in Graz, Austria. He went on businesstrips to Vienna and upheld close relationships with Jewish merchants. After the Anschluss to Nazi Germany in 1938 he was contacted by some of his Jewish acquaintances, who asked him to assist them in their attempts to leave the country. He started to hold agricultural classes for Jews, who wanted to learn a trade prior to their emigration. With the support of the Jewish community (Kultusgemeinde) he traveled around Europe to find out about possible emigration routes. Soon he concentrates his efforts on the Southern border of Austria with Yugoslawia. Due to prior business endeavors, which were already partially illegal, he already knew the border with its many sidepaths. Initially he started his efforts to assist Jews illegally over the border with the knowledge of the Gestapo, but after some time he could only continue his endeavors on the basis of constant bribes. In 1940 the Jewish community was dissolved and moved to Vienna, where Schleich continued to organize his activities under the cover of a travelagency. Most of the people arrived from Vienna, some even from cities in Germany, at Graz, where Schleich accomodated them in his city apartment, until further transportation was arranged. Schleich had helpers among some farmers along the border as well as some helpers on the Yugoslawian side. The whole extent of the people he helped crossing the border is still unknown, but new research has proved that the number of rescued Jews amount to more than 20.000. After the war, in 1947, he was accused of taking advantage of the plight of Jews, due to the fact that he received substantial fees for his efforts to assist Jews over the border. In 1949 Josef Schlech died in Graz.
    Abstract: The collection contains materials pertaining to a radio broadcast in Austria on Oct. 25, 2000, “Der Steirische Schindler”, about Josef Schleich from Graz, Austria, who saved the life of thousands of Jews, 1938-1941. Also included is a typed transcript of the broadcast.

    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: In his memoir, Joseph Ripp decribes "some of the events that drove them out of Europe and brought them to safety in the United States". He describes the fate of each family member, and their later lives in the United States. Then Joseph Ripp focuses on the time of persecution thorugh the Nazis. In school they were taught the discriminatory racial doctrines, in the outside world his father's business suffered from all different kinds of assaults on his property. It became clear that they had to emigrate. In 1938, young Joseph could take part in a small program sponsered by the American Jewish community which enabld a few hundred children from Germany to escape. He was about to end up in St. Paul, Minnesota. Before that, they made a stop in New York, where he stayed with his aunt Bertha Geller. He describes how impressed he was by all the new things he got to see in New York. After his arrival, he took on several jobs to help his family survive the struggles of war. The memoir moves back to Nazi-Germany and its persecution of Jews. There is an account of Kristallnight and Joseph Ripp's brothers' escape to Holland and England. His parents are dispersed over Europe, his father being held at St. Cyprien internment camp in France, his mother stuck in Antwerp, Belgium. Finally there is a family re-union in the USA. Joesph Ripp then writes about his family's fate in the US. He joins the army and combats in Europe. He receives education from Columbia University, and then meets his future wife, Mimi, a refugee child as well. Both go back to Europe in the 1950s. Joseph Ripp accepted a job offer in Brussels, Belgium, from his wife's uncle. The memoir closes with the upbringing of the next generation. There are several family photos and documents included in the appendix.

    Abstract: This memoir was written for a Holocaust Survivors' Webpage for people who went to Hunter College High School, New York City, NY. Lisa F. Barclay's memoir is short and concise. She talks briefly about her family's background and her childhood in pre-war Vienna. The "Anschluss" of Austria to Nazi Germany in March 1938 changed everything. The family was forced to emigrate. Her parents were a mixed couple - the father Jewish, the mother a Catholic. They got help from a number of Catholic friends, which gave them a few more options than a Jewish family. They got the US affidavit through an American relative, but had to wait long for the actual visas, since her father was born in Hungary and therefore considered under the quota for Hungarian citizens. After leaving Austria in 1938, they temporarliy lived in Paris, France, and Lisbon, Portugal. The memoir ends with a description of the living conditions after their arrival in New York.

    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.

    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.
