Abstract: The writing covers eight months, from February 1938 until September 15, 1938, when the family emigrated via airplane to London, England. The first chapter starts in February 1938, the day of Lisl's birthday. The author uses a fictional style throughout the memoir, naming herself Lisl instead of "I". The days following the Anschluss are described in detail: the persecution, being expelled from school, the arrest of her father--all from a child's perspective. A brief "epilogue" tells about Lisl taking pre-med classes at Canterbury College; and the family obtaining visas to the US and settling down in Los Angeles.

Abstract: Also included are family and childhood photographs from the years in Austria and a few pictures from the time in the USA.

Language: English

Pages: 15 + 89 , typescript.

Year of publication: 2004

Former Title: Delusions and denials: Viennese life under the Nazis / Visit to a Viennese cemetery.

Keywords: Fireside, Harvey, ; Feuerzeug family. ; Zelman, Leon, ; Zentralfriedhof (Vienna, Austria) ; Antisemitism. ; Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) ; Kristallnacht, 1938. ; Nazis. ; Austria History Anschluss, 1938. ; United States Emigration and immigration. ; Vienna (Austria) ; Autobiographies ; Biographical sources ; Memoirs

Abstract: "Visit to a Viennese Cemetery" is a personal reflection about Fireside's first trip back to Austria since his arrival in the USA. It was organised by the "Jewish Welcome Service" in September 2000. This trip brings forgotten memories back to life, questioning the role of Austrians in the Holocaust, and their denial afterwards. The author describes the trip, first days of sightseeing and conversations of his fellow travellers. On the last day, the group went to Zentralfreidhof, the main cemetery in Vienna.

Abstract: The memoir "Delusions and Denials: Viennese Life under the Nazis" starts with a description of the author's family and an essay-like reflection about Austria and its role and engagement with Nazism, and soon turns to the author's own childhood in Vienna, presenting his personal memories in context of the political situation in the 1930s. In the main part of the memoir, Fireside talks at length about the immediate events leading to the "Anschluss", followed by its consecutive years, still being in Vienna. "Kristallnacht", the pogrom in November of 1938, is dealt with in detail, over 15 pages. Until their escape in April 1940, Fireside describes plenty incidents of humiliations and persecution, the process of getting affidavits for the USA, and finally his family boarding a ship in Italy and their arrival in the USA.

Abstract: Originally 38 pages long, the Archives at the Leo Baeck Institute hold only the first 11 pages of the memoir which cover the time period before the Hirschkron family's emigration to the USA, and the first years thereafter. The memoir starts with brief memories about Mr. Hirschkron's paternal grandparents and the neighbourhood they were living in, which was the second district of Vienna. Just one year after his birth, the young family moves out from the grandparents' apartment to an apartment in the seventh district of Vienna, on Burggasse. The family had a house in Hinterbruehl where they used to go during holidays. Later on, they started to summer in Alt Aussee. More detailed descriptions are provided of the events during the Anschluss and the Kristallnacht, after which the family was relocated to Biberstrasse where they had to share the apartment with strangers. After their visas were granted, the family left for New York in January 1940. The last three pages talk about their arrival in New York City, difficulties with finding jobs and general living conditions for immigrants.

Abstract: Several short memoirs written by Margot Friedlaender. Recollections of her childhood shadowed by the divorce of her parents. School years during the Nazi time in Germany. Margot started an apprenticeship to become a dressmaker in a salon. Circumstances of life in Nazi Germany and recollections of Kristallnacht. Position with the Jewish "Kulturbund". In 1941 the "Kulturbund" was closed by the Nazi authorities and Margot was forced to work in a factory. Fervent attempts to emigrate failed. In 1943 her mother and brother were deported to Auschwitz. Margot went into hiding. Experiences of life in underground. After her discovery in 1944 she was fortunate to be deported to Theresienstadt, where she met a former colleague from the Kulturbund, Adolf Friedlaender. They both managed to survive and were liberated by the Russian army. They got married in Theresienstadt in June of 1945. After a year in the DP Camp Deggendorf, they finally left for New York in June of 1946.
