Abstract:
Simon Isaacs starts his essay in 1933 and describes the increasing expulsion of the Jewish people. He was dismissed from his teaching position in 1935, but he worked at a Jewish hospital in Frankfurt/Main until 1939. He writes about the changing situation in Germany, when the Nazi party got more and more powerful, when Jewish physicians were not permitted to examine non-Jewish patients. Simon Isaac was able to save his wife and the two children. They had the possibility to emigrate to England and he is very grateful to the English government and the people that absorbed the refugees.
