    Abstract: Max Mautner's memoir provides a detailed account of daily life and suffering in Vienna during the first years after the Anschluss. During some of that time, Mautner was working at a Jewish office in Vienna distributing food stamps. The second part of the memoir is dedicated to the concentration camp Theresienstadt, where he was deported to in 1942. Mautner remembers terrible diseases and work conditions. After some time he was employed as a guard, first at a manufactory, then at the one and only coffee house at Theresienstadt. His account then covers the liberation of Theresienstadt by the Russian army, his time at the displaced persons camp at Deggendorf, Germany, and finally a transport of 800 orphans to Palestine, which he accompanied. The memoir ends with the formal establishment of Israel in 1948.
