After an introduction to the family brewing business, the memoir covers Frederick Landmann's years of education and apprenticeship, then his business travel for the family brewing supplies business to the Far East. He describes the rise of Hitler in Germany and all the obstacles and persecution this brought to his family, leading to his flight from the country in 1938. The memoir then describes New York during World War 2, and Mr. Landmann's efforts to secure his living, then talks about his time at the US Army and the War crime trials at Nuremberg. Back in the USA, he rejoins his family and continues his career in the brewing industry.

    Abstract: Description of the life of Rosemarie L. Joseph from her happy childhood in Germany, the danger during the Nazi Regime, the immigration to the USA, until her retirement in Florida, narrated in 11 chapters and illustrated with photographs and figures showing family members and documents.
    Abstract: Rosemarie Joseph describes her family and their life in Berlin. The father was a businessman, dealing with women’s clothes. The author writes about her years at a public school, where she met anti-Semitism for the first time. Later she went to a private school in Berlin-Lichterfelde. The memoir deals with the upcoming Nazi Regime and describes how the family experienced anti-Semitism, the terror, despair and confusion; especially the events of the “Reichskristallnacht” and the efforts to emigrate are described. Eventually Rosemarie was able to go to London, which was made possible by the Bloomsbury House, which offered older children, who were not eligible for the “Kindertransport”, to escape to Great Britain. The memoir tells about the escape of Rosemarie’s parents. Her father was born in Danzig, which was considered a free State by Hitler after the war began. Therefore Hartwig Deutschland received a “Danzig Quota” number 7 for travel to America and the couple left Germany immediately and soon arrived in New York. Shortly afterwards Rosemarie got a visa to enter the USA, too.
    Abstract: The memoir tells about her first years in the USA, her job as a pediatrics nurse at the Israel Zion Hospital, her job caring for a small child, her years studying at Hunter College, her job at the Blood Bank at University Hospital as well as how she met her husband Hans Joseph. She was lucky to get a grant of $1,800.00 from the Educational Foundation for Jewish Girls and so she was able to enroll at the Polyclinic Hospital and Medical School for one year. After passing the Registry Exam she was allowed to work as a Medical Technologist of the American Society of Clinical Pathologists. Her first job then was at a private medical laboratory in Brooklyn. 1952 she started to work part time at the Jewish Memorial Hospital, which soon turned into a full time job. She worked there until 1982. Furthermore Rosemarie writes about her struggle to get a child. Finally the couple adopted two boys, Claude and Andrew. The memoir gives account of the family’s decision to buy a house at Lake Carmel in Putnam county, N.Y., their animals, the family life, how Rosemarie started oil painting, her retirement, her voluntary work at the Residential Treatment Center for autistic children, the death of her husband, a new relationship; and finally her move to West Palm Beach, Florida and her life there, together with a lot of volunteer activities, music and trips to several places in the USA and Europe. Finally, the memoir includes a paragraph about Rosemarie’s contribution to the Shoa Foundation with Steven Spielberg as a chairman plus a copy of the letter that Spielberg sent to Rosemarie, saying thank you for her help.

    Abstract: The memoir was written in 1998 in Argentina. Gabriel Groszman describes the family history reaching back to the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. Anti-Semitism and the blood libel trial of Tisza Eszlar. His father, who was born in the Habsburg empire, fought in World War One. In 1918 counter revolution in Hungary under Admiral Horthy, who established a semi-fascist regime. Childhood memories of the Jewish life in Vamosmikola, a small Hungarian village of 1500 inhabitants and 25 Jewish families. Both of his grandparents had small stores and did fairly well. Encounters of anti-Semitism in a predominantly Catholic environment. With Hitler's rise in Germany Admiral Horthy became encouraged to reinforce Anti-Jewish regulations. Gabriel's father was forced to give up his grain-business, because agricultural related buisness was prohibited for Jews. Move to Budapest. Nazi occupation of Hungary in 1944. Imi, Gabriel's 18 years old brother, was taken to a copper mine in Yugoslavia. Gabriel himself at age 14 had to clean up factories after air raids. He got a position as a messenger boy at the Jewish community committee (Judenrat). Large Jewish population in Budapest (300.000) delayed the Nazi efforts of deportation. Concentration of the Jewish population in designated houses under restricted circumstances. House searches by the Nazis. Growing danger of deportation. Raol Wallenbergs intervention with the Swedish embassy provided the family with a special document of protection. They moved to the "Swedish house". In December 1944 the Nazis did not respect any longer the immunity of the protected Jewish families and started deporting people from there as well. The Nazis established a Jewish ghetto in a district of Budapest to prepare the final deportation of the Jewish population in Budapest. Approaching Russian troops cut the roads and crossed these plans. The family of Gabriel Groszman was still able to stay in the "Swedish house", though with limited protection.
    Abstract: Mass killing of Jewish people who were taken to the river Danube and shot by Hungarian Nazis. Gabriel's father bought forged papers for the family, stating them as Eastern Hungarian refugees. They moved out of the Ghetto and the "Swedish house" to the gentile district with forged identities. Air raids and advancing Russion troops. Their landlords discovered their true identity and restrained from denouncing them. After a few weeks Budapest was liberated by the Russians. The family moved to Vienna and lived there for three years, before they emigrated to Argentina.

    Abstract: The memoirs were written in 1996 at Lisa Seiden's home. The main time covered is her childhood in Vienna and her stay in Bath, England, during the war. Lisa Seiden describes daily life for a child in Vienna--the type of dolls she had, activities on a cold winter day, vaccations on the countryside. In 1938, she was not allowed to go to school anymore. She remembers many details during that time of horros--the anxious expressions in her parents' faces, the constant fear they had while being in the apartment. One day, the Gestapo was looking for her father, Friedrich Leist, but he was warned and did not return home. He had a hise-out and Lisa brought him food. It did not help--a few days later, he was sent to Dachau concentration camp. On December 17, 1938, Lisa and her brother Peter were sent via Kindertransport to England. Since their parents did not get visas for England, they emigrated to Argentine where an uncle lived. Lisa Seiden writes about her time in Englad, her foster parents, schooling, and air raids. In May of 1946, a ship takes Lisa and Peter to their parents in Buenos Aires, Argentine. The memoir includes copies of photographs showing family members, herself, her doll's house, and vaccation trips etc. There also many letters included, as well as bits of Lisa Seiden's brother's (Peter Leist) dairy.

    Abstract: The memoir starts with the death of Gert Loellbach’s parents in a ship accident in 1932. Gert was sent to live with his aunt in Kreuznach and was suddenly confronted with rising antisemitism due to Nazi propaganda. In Kreuznach he suddenly belonged to a visible minority at school, whereas in Berlin half of the students had been Jewish. Orthodox Jewish life at his aunt’s house. Gert had been brought up in an assimilated Jewish family. He was forced to leave school before taking the final exams (Abitur) and started to work in a wood trading company of his father’s friend. Soon thereafter the company was confiscated. Gert belonged to the Jewish sports group "Kadimah". Zionist activities and agricultural education in preparation for Palestine. Incidents and threats by Nazi groups. Gert became a youth leader for the district of Essen. Preparation for the members to emigrate. Night of the November pogrom in 1938 and his arrest. He was spared deportation to a concentration camp and was freed due to the intervention of the rabbi of his home town. After his release he made his way to Berlin with the help of a nun. Endeavors to free his colleagues from the concentration camp. Difficulties to obtain visas. Plans to bring members of the Zionist groups to Palestine. Gert Loellbach’s activities were made known to the Gestapo and he had to leave the country. Exit permit for Sweden. Gert left Germany in time and started to prepare young "Hechaluzim" in Sweden for their emigration to Palestine - a program started by Emil Glueck. The outbreak of the war inhibited their further emigration. Fear of invasion of Nazi Germany in South Sweden. He worked together with the Jewish Agency and corresponded with various inmates of concentration camps, which meant a certain degree of protection for them. In 1940 Gert organized an initiative to rescue members of the Youth Aliyah and the Jewish population in Denmark after the German invasion.
    Abstract: A camp for the Jewish refugees was established near the Swedish port of Helsingborg. Difficulties to find work for the refugees. Gert was sent to Stockholm to represent the Hechaluz organization and open a "Palestinabuero" for the Jewish Agency. Reports of the fate of other refugees. Norbert Masur and the Bernadotte-Aktion to free 28.000 inmates in concentration camps in 1944.

    Abstract: The elaborate and thoughtful text contains many personal memories that exceed mere family life. Eric C. Fisher writes about Viennese neighborhoods, life in school, and religious differences between "assimilated" and "orthodox" Jews. Generally, it provides an account of Viennese cultural life between the wars. Fisher writes about his time with a Zionist youth organization; as well as family summer vacations in Croatia and Italy. He recalls the events of March 1938, and the beginning persecution of Jews in Austria. In spring 1939, he was incarcerated by the SS; he and other younger boys were released, but men (among them his father) were taken away. Later the family got transit visas to England, were he lived as a refugee and was interned as an enemy alien. Fisher describes in detail his transfer to Canadian camps and ends with his release in 1942, and the beginning of a new life in Montreal, Canada.
