    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: In a memoir written for her daughters, Inge (Irene) Brenner recounts her family’s history, growing up in Berlin with her parents, her maternal grandfather Samuel Oppenheimer and her two sisters, Lony (born 1913) and Marianne (born 1922). She tells of the hardship that befell Jewish families after the Nazis’ rise to power. Her sister Lony left for Paris in 1933 and later worked as a secretary for the Zionist politician Vladimir Jabotinsky. Inge met her future husband Hans (Harold) Brenner in 1937 in Berlin; he was able to immigrate with the help of an American cousin and sent for Inge soon after Kristallnacht. They met in Havana, Cuba, and were married there. He returned to New York while Inge waited for her visa in Cuba, then entered the United States via Miami. Hans and Inge lived in a small apartment in Washington Heights, eventually joined by his parents as well as Inge’s parents and younger sister Marianne. When Lony and her husband Maurice arrived from Paris, they started a small business that employed several members of the family. Hans and Inge had two daughters, Barbara and Jessica; Maurice and Lony had one daughter named Linda. Inge also describes her younger sister’s life in some detail. Marianne, in an ultimately broken marriage with Henry Dreifus, gave birth to her only daughter at the age of 22. Claudia Dreifus was raised until the age of eight by her grandmother, Emma Willdorff, and later by her father and step-mother. Marianne went on to suffer a nervous breakdown, followed by a severe car accident. She spent her final years living in Reno with her second husband Aram Jorjorian. Following a second divorce, Marianne died at age 55.

Margit's grandparents, the textile merchants Anita and Salomon Kalman paid for her education. The boarding school was located in an exclusive villa and hosted children of the high society. Margit was fascinated by the rituals of the Catholic surroundings. The nuns showed a loving care and made efforts to integrate her in an environment alien to her. At the same time restriction of her strong desire for independence through firm rules and distanced relationships in the nunnery. Estrangement from her classmates due to her mixed heritage. Last encounters with her maternal grandparents prior to their deportation. Growing danger and Gestapo investigations. In 1942 she had to leave the boarding school and lived without legal permission at her paternal grandparents. In 1944 she was taken to Brambach, where she survived the war in hiding.

    Abstract: Jack Baruch Keil starts his memoir with a brief description of his family's roots in Jaroslav, Poland. His parents had hardly any money, and moved to Berlin in the 1920s, where his father started a business, selling eggs. He was quite successful, even under the severe economic conditions in Berlin. There was also time for young Jack to go on vacations to the Baltic Sea. In 1933, things changed drastically. Nazis devastated his father's store, the eggs were an easy target for causing damage. The family decided to emigrate to Austria where they had relatives, in order to avoid the Nazi threat. His father managed to build up a new business, and young Jack enjoyed the widened family. The memoir also briefly mentioned the political situation in Austria during the 1930s when Austria's governing party suspended the parliament, the Nazis assassinated the chancelor Dollfuss, and when the Nazis annexed Austria in March 1938. Again, the family was persecuted and had to leave. But the family did not even have passports which made it even more complicated to get a visa for emigration. Finally, they all ended up in Belgium, although only his mother had a visa.

    Abstract: This memoir was written after 1945. In it, Paul Barnay describes his family history. His grandfather came from Slovakia and moved to Budapest in the early 19th century. Paul's father studied medicine and moved to Vienna. Paul Barnay's mother, Ilka Barnay, was a pianist and a writer. Paul was born after her second marriage in 1882. His parents converted to Christianity in order to legalize their marriage. Ilka Barnay was a talented woman who supported her husband with translations and piano lessons. Theater and cultural events were very important for the family, and Paul Barnay also describes enjoying playing soccer. He also recounts some experiences with anti-semitism.First experiences of anti-Semitism, and difficulties with his classmates due to his convert status. In 1903 Paul moved to Berlin, where he stayed with his uncle, the theater director Ludwig Barnay. Paul was an acting student at the "Reicher'sche Hochschule fuer dramatische Kunst". During this period he had several romances, and also fell into discord with his uncle. . After being in a number of productions, Paul was promoted to a position at the court theater in Neustrelitz.. From here he became a director of a play in Regensburg. His success in the theater world increased, and he began to travel with productions. In 1914 Paul married his long-time fiancé Lina and both were offered positions at a theater in Bremen. During World War I Paul served with the German military. Paul experienced the cultural life of Vienna, and met both Peter Altenberg and Anton Kuh. At the end of the war in 1918 he found a position as a theater director in Kattowitz. He directly experienced and describes in his memoir the Revolution of 1919, and the following integration of Silesia into Poland. He took a position as director in Breslau in 1921. His professional success increased throughout the Weimar period, and he received many offers from theaters across Germany for work.
    Abstract: When the Nazis seized power in 1933, Paul was arrested and then forced to resign from his theater in 1933. He fled first to Austria, and then to Hungary in 1938. He describes his life as a refugee, and the increasing threat of anti-Semitism in Hungary. With the German occupation of Hungary in 1944, Paul was forced into the Budapest Ghetto and had to submit to forced labor. He survived by going into hiding. Upon his liberation in 1945 he went to Vienna. In Vienna he received a position as a director of the "Volkstheater."

    Abstract: Diaries written by Hilde Lachmann Mosse between the age 16 and 21 (December 1928 until summer 1933). It is the diary of a teenage girl who is attending high school in Berlin. She is very idealistic, politically aware, Jewish oriented, and has clear feminist concepts. She attends lectures concerning contemporary policial events (e.g. Voelkerbund), the Reform Synagogue Youth Association (1929), has lengthy discussions with her teachers and friends (e.g. her friend Ilse Frank) concerning religious and social issues, about the violent issues of fascism, capitalism, as well as about the education of children. One of her constant concerns is the absence of co-educational schools. She is well read and reviews many of the books she read. Some of the diary books also contain compositions, such as a composition comparing the biblical Jacob and the Jacob in Beer Hofmann (diary 3), essay on Joan of Arc, Max Nordau, Zweig's Nietzsche biography, Goethe's Urgoetz (diary 16). 1929 she travels to London (diary 6) and to Russia (diary 7). Other activities: member of the Jewish Youth Club, Association Internationale des Etudiants de Boulogne, playing tennis (Blau-Weiss), studying violin, rowing, working on her special subject "History of socialism", member of the Zugscharen, a leftist organisation. In 1930 she presents a paper at the Jewish Youth Conference in London (diary 14).

    Details
    Pages: 1 , colored family tree.
    Edition: Digital image New York, N.Y. Gruss Lipper Digital Laboratory, Center for Jewish History 2015

    Keywords: Barosin family. ; Mileikowsky family. ; Mitzkun, David Moses, ; Wechsler family. ; Mitskun family. ; Jews, Lithuanian Genealogy. ; Berlin (Germany) ; Rīga (Latvia) ; Genealogical tables ; Manuscripts.
    Abstract: The Mitskun family tree was created between 1901 and 1906 by the lumber merchant Joseph Judey in Riga and Berlin. It contains nearly 150 names, recording the descendents of Joseph’s great grandfather, Moshe Mitskun (Moses Mitzkun). At the base of the tree he records seven prior generations back to his ancestor David, who was born circa 1580. The tree artistically combines roots and branches, leaves and laurels, names and dates and words of praise; pieces of fruit represent the women, and flowers represent the men. It intertwines the names of the Mitskun; Wechsler; Mileikowsky; and Barosin families. In 1929, Joseph presented the tree to his son Jacob on occasion of his 40th birthday.
