    Abstract: The writing covers eight months, from February 1938 until September 15, 1938, when the family emigrated via airplane to London, England. The first chapter starts in February 1938, the day of Lisl's birthday. The author uses a fictional style throughout the memoir, naming herself Lisl instead of "I". The days following the Anschluss are described in detail: the persecution, being expelled from school, the arrest of her father--all from a child's perspective. A brief "epilogue" tells about Lisl taking pre-med classes at Canterbury College; and the family obtaining visas to the US and settling down in Los Angeles.
    Abstract: Also included are family and childhood photographs from the years in Austria and a few pictures from the time in the USA.

    Abstract: The memoir starts with the Wolf family's arrival in New York City in February 1939, including a brief description of the ship Queen Mary. Then the memoir jumps back in time, to the year 1933:.fFamily life, their live-in maid who had to leave the family in 1937. The two older siblings Paul and Ellen were exposed to anti-Semitism in their schools, and were sent by their parents to an international boarding school and a Jewish school respectively. Marlies Plotnik then talks about her grandparents and the family's leather business, Adler & Oppenheimer Lederfabrik AG. She recollects the events of Kristallnacht in Darmstadt. She saw that both the conservative and orthodox synagogues were ablaze. It follows a detailed genealogical description of her family background. Then "Life in Pre-Hitler Darmstadt" is covered. Marlies Plotnik writes about the daily routine of her middle class family. Her parents attended the cultural events of Darmstadt, theater, the ball season, etc. The second part of the memoir is dedicated to the departure from Germany, the emigration via England, and the immigration into the USA. The family settled in Washington Heights, as did so many other Jewish families from Germany. Attached are family pedigrees, family photographs, passports (copies), and documents.

    Abstract: This brief memoir starts with a description of family background and childhood experiences in Germany. After things got worse in Germany, Ralph's parents decided to send their children away. In June 1939, they came to France, in order to live with Edgar and Alice Weil, a cousin of his father. After the outbreak of World War 2, they moved on to the Pyrenees, not far from Ralph's parents, who had been transferred to St. Cyprien internment camp. Finally the family received visas for the USA, and they managed to get a ship to Casablanca, Morocco, before boarding the ship "Guinee" to New York. Ralph arrived in the USA in April 1942. His parents quickly found temporary jobs in New York.

    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.
