    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: Julius Goldstein was a conscious keeper of diaries and the collection includes an almost complete set of diaries and appointment books from 1891 until his death in 1929. Julius Goldstein's diaries discuss themes such as family life in early twentieth century Germany, political events, and the rising inflation after World War I. Included in diary entries is information on Julius Goldstein's trips, lectures, the health of his family members, and his children. Two topics touched on in the diaries are deserving of special mention: Goldstein's notes on a meeting with the philosopher Henri Bergson in 1912 and the diaries from the war years, running from the naïve enthusiasm of August 1914 to the deep disillusionment of November 1918.
