    Keywords: Mayer, Gerda (née Stein) ; Childbirth ; Families Children. ; Jews Persecutions ; Jews Persecutions ; Diaries ; Autobiographies ; Biographical sources ; Diaries. ; Autobiography.
    Abstract: “Babys Tagebuch” (Baby's Diary) started as a commercially available book about baby care [Moro-Drasch, Irene : Babys Tagebuch , Merkblaetter und die Grundzuege der Saeuglingspflege ; Graz 1925]. The book had empty pages to keep schedule of the baby’s development. Gerda Mayer's parents, Arnold and Erna Stein, made good use of it, and did not stop writing entries (with Arnold contributing to 50 pages in his rounded handwriting, and Erna contributing to 27 pages in her more formal hand). When their daughter grew older, the baby diary developed into a regular diary, in which they were addressing their daughter Gerda. They talk about their time together, their activities, but also the political events that affected the family, like anti-Semitism. The Steins kept a diary of their daughter Gerda from her birth in 1927 until her departure to England in 1939. There are also little drawings and scribbles by young Gerti.
    Note: The transcript of “Babys Tagebuch” is also microfilmed on MM 132.

    Year of publication: 1930-1933
    Keywords: Jewish lawyers ; Thuringia (Germany) Personal narratives. Social life and customs ; Memoirs ; Autobiographies ; Biographical sources ; Lawyers ; Genealogy
    Abstract: The three volumes of Jacob Simon’s Memoirs (Lebens Erinnerungen) were written in the postwar period 1919-1933. In Volume I he writes about his family’s 19th century history and his own life experiences in pre-Holocaust Germany. Based on his own genealogical research he displays a family tree which traces the family’s roots back to Vitus von Worms in Frankfurt in 1485. Starting from the 18th century he shows connections to Hoffactor Simon Levi Simon (1749-1826), the progenitor of the Simon family in Hildburghausen. Volume II deals entirely with his law practice. More than 100 cases are described in anecdotal form; these cases are grouped in a legal outline format and range from sexual offenses to Communist riots. Much discussion deals with the difficulty in making the transition from medieval property law to the civil code (BGB) in a still largely agrarian society. In Volume III he discusses philosophy, Jewish history, politics, and Judaism. In the supplement to this volume are included sections on Yiddish expressions and 19th century Hildburghausen recollections.
    Abstract: In addition the collection contains a complete English translation of the original three German volumes. Five recently discovered notebooks hand-written in old German script that appear to be the original draft of Volume I are also displayed.
    Abstract: Memoirs and family history dating back to the 15th century. The memoirs deal primarily with the author’s law firm from the end of the 19th to the early 20th century, as well as his views of religion and Judaism. Five handwritten notebooks in old German script were the basis for the author’s memoirs; they are also available in an English translation.

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).

    Diaries of Julius Goldstein, (1891-1931)
    Details
    Language: German
    Pages: 20 folders.
    Year of publication: 1891-1931
    Keywords: College teachers. ; Families ; World War, 1914-1918. ; Germany History 1871-1918. ; Germany History 1918-1933. ; Diaries ; Biographical sources
    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.
