    Menschenjagd : [1942-1945]. (1946-2000)

    Keywords: Tepper, Elsa, ; Tepper, Minna. ; Tepper, Wilhelm, ; Auschwitz (Concentration camp) ; Salaspils (Concentration camp) ; Stutthof (Concentration camp) ; Forced labor. ; Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) ; Holocaust survivors. ; World War, 1939-1945. ; Women authors. ; Lauenburg (Germany) ; Rīga (Latvia) ; Vienna (Austria) ; Autobiographies ; Biographical sources ; Memoirs
    Abstract: The memoir was written 1946 in Austria, shortly after her liberation. Minna recalls her deportation in February 1942. She was taken to Riga together with her parents and her husband. Her mother was killed upon their arrival. Her father and her husband were taken to Salaspils for forced labor, where the later perished. Minna, who was pregnant with her first child, was forced to undergo an abortion. She describes her experiences of Nazi sadism in the Ghetto of Riga, especially by the Ghetto commanders Krause and Roschmann. In 1943 Minna was taken for peat cutting labor to Olaine. In November 1943 Minna and her father were reunited at the concentration camp Kaiserwald near Riga. From there both were taken to Spilve - a labor camp at a German air base, which was under worse conditions than the first camp. They worked in the cold without appropriate shoes and in thin clothes. Due to the exhausting conditions Minna's father Wilhelm was getting weaker and eventually was deported to Auschwitz in April 1944. Minna was taken to Stutthof, which was overcrowded and in primitive conditions. They were taken to an exterior labor camp, where they had to build trenches for the German defense in the rain and cold. They suffered of constant hunger. In January 1945 the camp was dissolved and all sick and disabled were killed. They were marched under exhausting conditions in the snow and cold. For all missing women ten others were chosen randomly to be killed. After a week Minna was finally too exhausted to continue walking and stayed behind. The guard who was supposed to kill her fired the bullet over her head and left her for dead in the snow. She was rescued and brought to a house, where she was given food and a place to sleep. She was discovered by a German police officer, who was about to shoot her along with other Jewish fugitives. Minna was saved by her Viennese accent, which convinced him that she was a gentile woman.
    Abstract: She was taken to a mobile army hospital and treated for her frozen feet. In March 1945 Minna was liberated in Lauenburg, Prussia, where she was sent by German hospitals as an unidentified Jewish patient.

    Geschichte und Erlebnisse der Familie Heinrich Bamberger, Frankfurt, waehrend der Hitler-Zeit in Deutschland. (1978)

    Language: German
    Pages: 91 + 50 + 66 pages : , handwritten manuscript (photocopy) +

    Year of publication: 1978
    Keywords: Bamberger, Heinrich, ; Bamberger family. ; Centralverein Deutscher Staatsbürger Jüdischen Glaubens. ; Jews Personal narratives, German. 1933-1945 ; Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) ; Jewish families. ; Kristallnacht, 1938. ; Women authors. ; Women Societies and clubs. ; Germany Emigration and immigration. ; Autobiographies ; Biographical sources ; Memoirs
    Abstract: The memoirs were written shortly after World War II in the United States and were translated by the author's son Frank Bamberger in 1978. The history of the family is traced back to the 19th century. The memoir continues with a discussion of the fate of the extended family during the Holocaust. Elisabeth Bamberger reflects on German Jewry and their blindness towards the dangers of the rising Nazi movement. Some pre-1933 Nazi political actions are described. Elisabeth's husband Heinrich was a member of the Centralverein and became active in attracting foreign countries to the sad happenings in Germany. The memoir recounts daily life under the Nazi regime and numerous "spontaneous actions" by the police and the SS, including the anti-Jewish boycotts. Other features of life under Nazism which Elisabeth describes in her memoir include Nazis among former acquaintances and employees, experiences of denunciations, and the fear of house searches. The memoir also describes some Jewish responses to the persecution, such as the performances of the Juedische Kulturbund. Heinrich’s health worsened and he died in the 1930’s. The Bambergers' children were sent to boarding school abroad. Their son, Willi, eventually emigrated to Ecuador, while their daughter Friedel went to Rome and from there to England. Another son, Franz, immigrated to the United States in 1938. The recollections continue with the Kristallnacht of 1938, the beginning of the war, and the growing threats and rumors revolving around the idea of deportation. Plans to leave on a ship from Genoa to South America in 1940 were canceled due to Italy's entrance in the war. Elisabeth Bamberger finally managed to emigrate via Russia and Japan to Ecuador. These experiences are recorded in a separate memoir (ME 28).
