    Keywords: Leist, Friedrich. ; Leist, Peter. ; Antisemitism. ; Women authors. ; Kindertransports (Rescue operations) ; Jews Persecution 1933-1945. ; Manners and customs Children ; Austria History Anschluss, 1938. ; England Emigration and immigration. ; Autobiographies ; Biographical sources ; Memoirs
    Abstract: The memoirs were written in 1996 at Lisa Seiden's home. The main time covered is her childhood in Vienna and her stay in Bath, England, during the war. Lisa Seiden describes daily life for a child in Vienna--the type of dolls she had, activities on a cold winter day, vaccations on the countryside. In 1938, she was not allowed to go to school anymore. She remembers many details during that time of horros--the anxious expressions in her parents' faces, the constant fear they had while being in the apartment. One day, the Gestapo was looking for her father, Friedrich Leist, but he was warned and did not return home. He had a hise-out and Lisa brought him food. It did not help--a few days later, he was sent to Dachau concentration camp. On December 17, 1938, Lisa and her brother Peter were sent via Kindertransport to England. Since their parents did not get visas for England, they emigrated to Argentine where an uncle lived. Lisa Seiden writes about her time in Englad, her foster parents, schooling, and air raids. In May of 1946, a ship takes Lisa and Peter to their parents in Buenos Aires, Argentine. The memoir includes copies of photographs showing family members, herself, her doll's house, and vaccation trips etc. There also many letters included, as well as bits of Lisa Seiden's brother's (Peter Leist) dairy.

    Abstract: Jack Baruch Keil starts his memoir with a brief description of his family's roots in Jaroslav, Poland. His parents had hardly any money, and moved to Berlin in the 1920s, where his father started a business, selling eggs. He was quite successful, even under the severe economic conditions in Berlin. There was also time for young Jack to go on vacations to the Baltic Sea. In 1933, things changed drastically. Nazis devastated his father's store, the eggs were an easy target for causing damage. The family decided to emigrate to Austria where they had relatives, in order to avoid the Nazi threat. His father managed to build up a new business, and young Jack enjoyed the widened family. The memoir also briefly mentioned the political situation in Austria during the 1930s when Austria's governing party suspended the parliament, the Nazis assassinated the chancelor Dollfuss, and when the Nazis annexed Austria in March 1938. Again, the family was persecuted and had to leave. But the family did not even have passports which made it even more complicated to get a visa for emigration. Finally, they all ended up in Belgium, although only his mother had a visa.

    Abstract: Edith Liebenthal starts her memoir with description of Vienna where she was born. She describes famous buildings, and buildings that were important to her personally. She states that "living in Vienna and attending school there imbued me with a sense of pride, even love, for the city and country of my birth". She discusses art in Austria which she thinks of as the greatest source of pride. Her family had a clear bourgeois background, being involved in Vienna's rich cultural life. The family went on summer vacations, and during winter had skiing vacations in the Alps. Her harmonic childhood but suddenly disrupted by the Anschluss. Her father lost his job and her mother lost her customers. They had no friends in the US to get an affidavit, but a childhood friend of her father's finally guaranteed for them. Edith escaped on a Kindertransport to England, where she stayed with the Kingdon family in Bristol. Her parents managed to get domestic visas in England. Although only staying in England for 15 months, this period of time had the greatest impact on her life, as Ms. Liebenthal notes in her memoir. She writes about her days at school, different eating habits in Britain, the outbreak of the war, and a temporary reunion with her parents. After the outbreak of World War 2, she had to leave Bristol within 3 days, because it was declared an "alien protected area". Still, she could graduate from high school. Then the visas arrived, and after some obstacles they made it to New York on the liner "Cameronia". She found a job immediately, through a girl she had befriended on the ship. During the first weeks she sustained the family financially. However, it was difficult for her to befriend new people. In March 1947, she met Kurt, her future husband. They married one year later. The remaining chapters cover the first years of marriage, her job as social security administrator, her retirement years in Houston, Texas.
    Abstract: The memoir ends with a portrait of the Friedler family and includes a pedigree on the last page.
