Ruth was transported to a work camp in Dresden, and was in the city during its destruction in February 1945. After the destruction of the city Ruth was transferred to a series of concentration camps, finally escaping on a death march. She was liberated by American soldiers in May 1945. In 1946 she was reunited with her son Michael, who had survived the Stutthof concentration camp.

    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: In the first chapter, “Holocaust and I”, Robert Treuer describes his youth in Vienna/Austria, how he grew up and how the anti-Semitism became more and more apparent in Austria. After the Anschluss, his father decided for him and his mother to leave the country. They emigrated to England where his mother worked as a housekeeper. Robert Treuer was separated from his mother, because the employer did not want another child in the house. His father was still in Austria. After being abused at school, his uncle took him away and brought him to a nearby tent camp in London. After a while, his father got the chance to escape from Austria and came to England as well. Although Robert Treuer’s father wrote letters to many countries to immigrate, only the United States allowed them to enter. Together with his parents he immigrated to the United States on February 9, 1939. In the second chapter, “Redemption. Searching for Trude and Irma”, Robert Treuer returned for a trip to Germany with two of his children and visited some of the concentration camps. During his stay in Germany, all the memories of the cruelty of the Nazi regime came back. He also talks about his cousin Erika and her family in Vienna and Hohenau. She was sent to England with the Kindertransport and never saw any member of his family again.
    Abstract: Also included are Robert Treuer's questionnaire with the Austrian Heritage Collection and a curriculum vitae.

    Abstract: This memoir was written for a Holocaust Survivors' Webpage for people who went to Hunter College High School, New York City, NY. Lisa F. Barclay's memoir is short and concise. She talks briefly about her family's background and her childhood in pre-war Vienna. The "Anschluss" of Austria to Nazi Germany in March 1938 changed everything. The family was forced to emigrate. Her parents were a mixed couple - the father Jewish, the mother a Catholic. They got help from a number of Catholic friends, which gave them a few more options than a Jewish family. They got the US affidavit through an American relative, but had to wait long for the actual visas, since her father was born in Hungary and therefore considered under the quota for Hungarian citizens. After leaving Austria in 1938, they temporarliy lived in Paris, France, and Lisbon, Portugal. The memoir ends with a description of the living conditions after their arrival in New York.
