    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.

    Abstract: This memoir was written after 1945. In it, Paul Barnay describes his family history. His grandfather came from Slovakia and moved to Budapest in the early 19th century. Paul's father studied medicine and moved to Vienna. Paul Barnay's mother, Ilka Barnay, was a pianist and a writer. Paul was born after her second marriage in 1882. His parents converted to Christianity in order to legalize their marriage. Ilka Barnay was a talented woman who supported her husband with translations and piano lessons. Theater and cultural events were very important for the family, and Paul Barnay also describes enjoying playing soccer. He also recounts some experiences with anti-semitism.First experiences of anti-Semitism, and difficulties with his classmates due to his convert status. In 1903 Paul moved to Berlin, where he stayed with his uncle, the theater director Ludwig Barnay. Paul was an acting student at the "Reicher'sche Hochschule fuer dramatische Kunst". During this period he had several romances, and also fell into discord with his uncle. . After being in a number of productions, Paul was promoted to a position at the court theater in Neustrelitz.. From here he became a director of a play in Regensburg. His success in the theater world increased, and he began to travel with productions. In 1914 Paul married his long-time fiancé Lina and both were offered positions at a theater in Bremen. During World War I Paul served with the German military. Paul experienced the cultural life of Vienna, and met both Peter Altenberg and Anton Kuh. At the end of the war in 1918 he found a position as a theater director in Kattowitz. He directly experienced and describes in his memoir the Revolution of 1919, and the following integration of Silesia into Poland. He took a position as director in Breslau in 1921. His professional success increased throughout the Weimar period, and he received many offers from theaters across Germany for work.
    Abstract: When the Nazis seized power in 1933, Paul was arrested and then forced to resign from his theater in 1933. He fled first to Austria, and then to Hungary in 1938. He describes his life as a refugee, and the increasing threat of anti-Semitism in Hungary. With the German occupation of Hungary in 1944, Paul was forced into the Budapest Ghetto and had to submit to forced labor. He survived by going into hiding. Upon his liberation in 1945 he went to Vienna. In Vienna he received a position as a director of the "Volkstheater."

    Abstract: Diaries written by Hilde Lachmann Mosse between the age 16 and 21 (December 1928 until summer 1933). It is the diary of a teenage girl who is attending high school in Berlin. She is very idealistic, politically aware, Jewish oriented, and has clear feminist concepts. She attends lectures concerning contemporary policial events (e.g. Voelkerbund), the Reform Synagogue Youth Association (1929), has lengthy discussions with her teachers and friends (e.g. her friend Ilse Frank) concerning religious and social issues, about the violent issues of fascism, capitalism, as well as about the education of children. One of her constant concerns is the absence of co-educational schools. She is well read and reviews many of the books she read. 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). Other activities: member of the Jewish Youth Club, Association Internationale des Etudiants de Boulogne, playing tennis (Blau-Weiss), studying violin, rowing, working on her special subject "History of socialism", member of the Zugscharen, a leftist organisation. In 1930 she presents a paper at the Jewish Youth Conference in London (diary 14).
