    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.

    Keywords: Bauer, Helene. ; Papanek, Frederike, ; Papanek, Joseph. ; Steiner, Grethe. ; Bergen-Belsen (Concentration camp) ; Theresienstadt (Concentration camp) ; Theresienstadt (Concentration camp) Intellectual life. ; Westerbork (Concentration camp) ; Forced labor. ; Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) ; Holocaust survivors. ; Women authors. ; Autobiographies ; Biographical sources ; Memoirs
    Abstract: This memoir by Frederike Papanek was written for her children in a mixed style between diary and letter. She describes her internment at Westerbork, Bergen-Belsen, and Theresienstadt. Her first entry is dated from July 11, 1944. She describes work routine, conditions, and daily life in the before mentioned concentration camps. She was always hungry, and sometimes also quite sick. She spent some time knitting to earn extra money for bread, for her husband Joseph Papanek who was sick and desperate for food. She describes the awful conditions while being transported from camp to camp, without food, air to breathe, or light to see, put together with 61 other people in one wagon. Her husband died following such a transport. Theresienstadt is a nightmare with cynical islands of culture, concerts of works by Bach and Beethoven. Frederike Papanek writes about her daily life being concerned with her ill husband, visiting him, washing him, and bringing him food. On September 2, 1944, she is present when he passes away. In fall 1944, deportations start. She describes the last days of Theresienstadt, which she left on June 7, 1945. Her last entry is dated July 15, 1945. Attached is a translation into English.

    Abstract: A partially autobiographical novel about the fate of the Jewish physician Karl Goldberg:
    Abstract: A young Jewish doctor, engaged in important neurological research in 1933 Berlin is arrested and imprisoned by the Nazis. His mentor is able to obtain his release but political pressures and the professional jealousy of his colleagues place his life and his work in danger. He flees to Italy, where news reaches him that his Aryan girlfriend, with whom he spent many hours playing the violin to her piano, has been pilloried by the Nazis for her association with a Jew and has committed suicide and that his mentor and another friend have been harmed because of their association with him.
    Abstract: Wracked by guilt, disturbed by a hatred for the Nazis, he suffers a breakdown and is given refuge by an Italian medical family in Venice. Later, he arrives in Rome, hoping to resume his research but the director of the Institute does not believe he is whom he claims to be. Fragile and in despair, he wanders the Italian countryside playing his violin. This brings him to Naples, where a cafe owner, also a pianist, sees the violinist as an answer to his failing business. His instincts are correct, the cafe attracts growing crowds, but this success fails to lighten the violinist/doctor’s emptiness and unresolved hatred. The cafe owner feels his own piano playing is no longer good enough to accompany the celebrity and asks the wife of a famous revolutionary who is fighting Franco in Spain to be his accompanist. Eventually, the two of them leave to join the woman’s husband in Spain where the doctor finds his redemption in blowing up enemy tanks. He loses his legs in a battle and dies (summary written by Hermann Marcus Selzer's daughter Hazel Kahan).
