    Schlagwort(e): 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
    Kurzfassung: 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.
    Kurzfassung: 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.

    Kurzfassung: Letter written by Eva Clarke's mother to her daughter describing her life following her deportation in 1941.
    Kurzfassung: Eva Clarke's mother lived in Prague. Her husband was sent to Theresienstadt on November 28, 1941; she was sent a few weeks later. In September 1943 she became pregnant. In December, her parents were sent to the East and never returned. In February 1944, her child, a boy called Dan, was born, but he died after two month of pneumonia. In 1944, they received the news that the Allied Forces were moving across France. In July 1944, she became again pregnant. Her husband was sent away on September 28, she followed on October 1. She never saw her husband again, he was shot during the evacuation of Auschwitz on January 18, 1945. After a short stop in Dresden, she was also sent to Auschwitz. Her parents, sisters and Peter ended in the gas chamber. She and her unborn baby only survived because there were not enough workers, so she was used for slave labor. Dr. Mengele selected her with the words “This time a very good quality”. Shortly afterwards, she was again sent away in a freight train, this time to Freiberg/Saxony, where she manufactured V-1s. When it became obvious in January 1945 that she was pregnant, it was too late to send her back to Auschwitz, so she went to Mauthausen and was brought there with dying women to a camp hospital. During this trip she got her baby. The Americans were not far away, so the Germans were more frightened than she was and the gas chamber of Mauthasen had been blown up only one day before. She and her baby, a girl who first was mistakenly described as a boy, survived the Shoah. She left Czechoslovakia together with her new husband in 1948 and settled in Great Britain.

    Kurzfassung: This memoir was originally written by Mildred Feferman-Wasoff in the years 1945-46 in Polish. She started writing in a Swedish hospital, right after her liberation. In 1979, the memoir was translated into English by the author. It is a detailed account of her experiences of persecution while being an adolescent, starting with 09/01/1939, the outbreak of World War II. After a short introduction of the Jewish community of Kielce, it covers the persecution of Jews in Kilece, the establishment of the Kielce ghetto, and the doomed fate of many inmates. The ghetto was liquidated in August 1942, and she was among 1600 people who were not immediately selected to be deported to a concentration camp or shot. She had falsely pretended to be a corsetiere. She had to work at loading and unloading, then sorting out mountains of clothing usurped by murder and deportations, later she worked for an organization to support the war, N.V.D. She gives testimony of many atrocities that happened in the camp. Among them the killing of 43 children during May 1943. She was selected to work with her brother Moniek to work at Ludwikow (Ludwigshütte), where wagons for war use were produced. Three children had managed to escape and joined them there. The camp existed until summer 1944. 200 - 300 prisoners lived within the factory. In August 1944 the working camp was closed and the prisoners evacuated to Auschwitz. She then gives a shocking description of life in Auschwitz-Birkenau. In December 1944, she was transferred to Ravensbruck. Her liberation took place in Malchow, Germany. On April 26, 1945, a transport of 1500 women took off to Sweden, thanks to an intervention of Count Bernadotte of Sweden.

    Kurzfassung: 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.

The first entry dates from November 20, 1940, written in Gurs internment camp in France, and recollects the persecution of Jews in Nazi Germany, and the effects on school children, businesses, cultural life etc. She herself was a witness to the burning of books. Her business had to be sold, and their goods were stolen. On October 21, 1940, all Jews were deported from Baden and the surrounding region to France. Rosa describes in detail when the Gestapo came to their apartment to arrest them. She was put on a train to Orleans, France, where she had to wait several days on the train until the internment camp in Gurs was set up for the new prisoners. She then describes the conditions and her experiences at Gurs in detail. At first, there were still some Spanish prisoners (Spanish Republicans). In February of 1941, her sister Bertha dies at Gurs. In October 1941, visas to get to the USA via Cuba arrive for Rosa and her family. They depart from Gurs on October 23, 1941, to Marseilles, where they board a ship in February (after many difficulties). On Rosa's last entry in her diary, dated from February 12, 1941, she decribes the trip on the ship which made stops at Casablanca, Morocco, and Bermuda, before arriving in Cuba. They were told to stay in Cuba until the end of the war.
