    Abstract: The memoir was written in German one and a half years after liberation. It has the form of a witness report, written in a clear and objective tone, but nevertheless harrowing. The content: Their is no word on their life in Amsterdam before the deportation. The memoir starts with their arrest in Amsterdam, Westerbork - the place they were deported to at first - is mentioned, but not described. Bergen-Belsen gets more attention, Fritz Joseph describes daily work routine, and living conditions in the camp. Theresienstadt comes next, and the author points out the good features as opposed to his later experiences in Auschwitz. 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. Firtz Joseph describes many details of the false set-up. Then he was separated from his wife and deported to Auschwitz. He describes the selection process, and many other components of the horror. He was then transferred to Buchenwald, and had to work as a forced laborer at the HASAG works (former Hugo Schneider AG) at Meuselwitz near Leipzig. In 1945, the camp was evacuated and Fritz Joseph could flee. The war ended and he got treatment for his infected leg. After a few days he could return to Amsterdam where he met his wife - she had survived as well. A 10 page long It can be found in the file as well.

    Keywords: Jews Childhood and youth ; Education, Elementary. ; Jewish families Religious life. ; Jewish teachers. ; Autobiographies ; Biographical sources ; Memoirs
    Abstract: Growing up in a Yiddish and Russian environment in Kovno (Kaunas, Lithuania) on the banks of the Njemen River. His father was a tailor. A big part of the memoir is devoted to Matthias’ opposition to the ‘Cheder’, the traditional elementary school where Jewish boys were educated by rabbis. He nevertheless stayed in his pre-ordained track, continuing his Cheder studies at more advanced Talmud schools in the town of Rogol (? Ariogala, Lithuania) and in the city of Kjelmü (Kielmy, Lithuania). After working in a friend’s lumber business, floating the tree trunks down the river, an accident rendered him almost blind, and he spent 6 months in the eye hospital in Königsberg. He became a private teacher for well-to-do Jewish families, and he taught for some time in his own Cheder in the village of Maklow. When he worked as a private tutor on an estate in the Lithuanian woods, he became permanently blind.
    Note: Matthias Salzberg is probably identical with Matityahu Salzberg, author of the Hebrew language novel ‘Shurat ha-kavod’ about Jews in Lithuania. , German
