He describes the efforts to make Theresienstadt look prettier, before the International Red Cross delegation arrived. Soon thereafter, the infamous movie documentary about Thersienstadt was shot.

    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.

Paul's mother died in France in 1942, his father was sent to a concentration camp in Poland and murdered. His sister Ruth was murdered in Yugoslavia. Paul was released in Canada, and was enabled to go to college. He later named his children after his family members who did not survive the Nazi terror: Stephanie, Ruth, and Samuel.

    Keywords: Halsman, Philippe. ; Dreyfus, Alfred, ; Ross, Martin H., ; Ruzicka, Ernst, ; Halsmann, Morduch Max, ; Ruzicka family. ; Buchenwald (Concentration camp) ; Anschluss movement, 1918-1938. ; Antisemitism 1918-1938. ; Jews Persecution 1933-1945. ; World War, 1939-1945. ; Austria. ; Tyrol (Austria) ; United States Emigration and immigration 1933-1945. ; Vienna (Austria) ; Manuscripts.
    Abstract: The memoirs were written in the 1970s in the United States. Description of family background. His father Dr. Ernst Ruzicka came from an assimilated Jewish family in Vienna, whereas his mother was born to an orthodox Jewish family in Galicia, Eastern Europe. The marriage only lasted a few years. Martin was raised by a Catholic governess, who contributed to his confusion in religious matters. He was enrolled in a local Gymnasium, and later on continued his studies at the Vienna University.The main part of the memoir concentrates on a detailed reflection and description of the “Halsman-trial” in 1928, where a young Jewish man from Latvia was charged with the murder of his father during an alpine tour in Tyrol. This trial contributed to an open outburst of anti-Semitism in Austria and even received international attention, comparable to the Dreyfus scandal in France a few decades earlier. The author reflects on the different stages of the trial and the increasing anti-Semitism during that process. He also describes the effect on his assimilated paternal family, who expressed their identification with the young Phillippe Halsmann as well as their worries about the injustice done. The father of the author published various articles in the “Neue Freie Presse” about the case and was involved in the trial regarding a crucial witness of the defence. He eventually wrote a book about the Halsman case, which was published in 1930.
    Abstract: On the day of the Anschluss in March of 1938, the author left Austria together with his brother and eventually emigrated to the United States. His father originally disapproved of their decision, assuming nobody would dare to lay a finger on the family of a World War One veteran. He later on was arrested by the Gestapo and sent to Buchenwald concentration camp, where he perished in 1941.
    Abstract: The memoirs end with a reflection on the parallels between the lives of Halsman's and his own family during a trip to Austria in 1973. It includes a petition to the Austrian president Franz Jonas to reverse the verdict in the Halsman case in order to remove a stigma not only from Halsman, but also from Austria.

    Abstract: Letter written by Eva Clarke's mother to her daughter describing her life following her deportation in 1941.
    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: 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.
