    Abstract: The memoir starts with the death of Gert Loellbach’s parents in a ship accident in 1932. Gert was sent to live with his aunt in Kreuznach and was suddenly confronted with rising antisemitism due to Nazi propaganda. In Kreuznach he suddenly belonged to a visible minority at school, whereas in Berlin half of the students had been Jewish. Orthodox Jewish life at his aunt’s house. Gert had been brought up in an assimilated Jewish family. He was forced to leave school before taking the final exams (Abitur) and started to work in a wood trading company of his father’s friend. Soon thereafter the company was confiscated. Gert belonged to the Jewish sports group "Kadimah". Zionist activities and agricultural education in preparation for Palestine. Incidents and threats by Nazi groups. Gert became a youth leader for the district of Essen. Preparation for the members to emigrate. Night of the November pogrom in 1938 and his arrest. He was spared deportation to a concentration camp and was freed due to the intervention of the rabbi of his home town. After his release he made his way to Berlin with the help of a nun. Endeavors to free his colleagues from the concentration camp. Difficulties to obtain visas. Plans to bring members of the Zionist groups to Palestine. Gert Loellbach’s activities were made known to the Gestapo and he had to leave the country. Exit permit for Sweden. Gert left Germany in time and started to prepare young "Hechaluzim" in Sweden for their emigration to Palestine - a program started by Emil Glueck. The outbreak of the war inhibited their further emigration. Fear of invasion of Nazi Germany in South Sweden. He worked together with the Jewish Agency and corresponded with various inmates of concentration camps, which meant a certain degree of protection for them. In 1940 Gert organized an initiative to rescue members of the Youth Aliyah and the Jewish population in Denmark after the German invasion.
    Abstract: A camp for the Jewish refugees was established near the Swedish port of Helsingborg. Difficulties to find work for the refugees. Gert was sent to Stockholm to represent the Hechaluz organization and open a "Palestinabuero" for the Jewish Agency. Reports of the fate of other refugees.

    Abstract: The memoir was written in 1988 in Berlin, Germany. The author describes his childhood in a protestant environment in Freiburg. Helmut Krueger had only sporadic contact to his wide-spread Jewish relatives. His mother Camilla was born in Vienna, where she started her training as an actress with Ferdinand Gregori. Her parents were the Jewish lithograph Eduard Ezechiel Joseph Davidson from Den Haag and Rebecca Stern from Hungary. Helmut's father Max Krueger was a theater director in Konstanz, Muenster and Freiburg. His parents met in Muenster, where both of them were engaged in theater productions. They married in 1912. Max Helmut was born in 1913, Answald in 1918 and in 1923 their sister Brigitte. In 1923 Max Krueger was offered a position in Freiburg, where the family lived until 1932. Rising political tensions in the 1930s. With Hitler's take-over in 1933 his father was forced to resign from his position. Helmut was arrested due to his affiliation to the communist party. His mother decided to convert to Protestantism in order to protect her family. Move to Berlin. With difficulties Helmut continued his interrupted studies at the Technical University in Charlottenburg, Berlin. Increasing persecution of "non-Aryans" and life between hope and despair. Answald and Brigitte were expelled from school due to their "non-Aryan" heritage. Brigitte found refuge in a Swedish Protestant church, where she worked as a secretary and escaped persecution. Terror of the November Pogrom of 1938 in Berlin. Helmut graduated from university in 1939 and was enlisted in the German army. His brother Answald and Helmut were able to remain in the army until 1941. In this way they hoped to be able to protect their family.
    Abstract: After his dismissal as "non-Aryan" Helmut worked as a construction manager of subway bunkers in Berlin and Brest. Increasing difficulties in his position. In 1942 his fiance Hertha was expecting a child. Due to his heritage they were not able to legalize their relationship and lived together under restricted circumstances. Their child Christine Gabriele was born in November 1942. Helmut found an apartment for his mother in the outskirts of Berlin, where he hoped she would be able to remain undiscovered. In 1944 she was denounced and deported to Theresienstadt. In 1945 Answald and Helmut were taken to a forced labor camp for "Organization Todt". Liberation and interrogation by the Americans.

    Geschichte und Erlebnisse der Familie Heinrich Bamberger, Frankfurt, waehrend der Hitler-Zeit in Deutschland. (1978)

    Abstract: The memoirs were written shortly after World War II in the United States and were translated by the author's son Frank Bamberger in 1978. The history of the family is traced back to the 19th century. The memoir continues with a discussion of the fate of the extended family during the Holocaust. Elisabeth Bamberger reflects on German Jewry and their blindness towards the dangers of the rising Nazi movement. Some pre-1933 Nazi political actions are described. Elisabeth's husband Heinrich was a member of the Centralverein and became active in attracting foreign countries to the sad happenings in Germany. The memoir recounts daily life under the Nazi regime and numerous "spontaneous actions" by the police and the SS, including the anti-Jewish boycotts. Other features of life under Nazism which Elisabeth describes in her memoir include Nazis among former acquaintances and employees, experiences of denunciations, and the fear of house searches. The memoir also describes some Jewish responses to the persecution, such as the performances of the Juedische Kulturbund. Heinrich’s health worsened and he died in the 1930’s. The Bambergers' children were sent to boarding school abroad. Their son, Willi, eventually emigrated to Ecuador, while their daughter Friedel went to Rome and from there to England. Another son, Franz, immigrated to the United States in 1938. The recollections continue with the Kristallnacht of 1938, the beginning of the war, and the growing threats and rumors revolving around the idea of deportation. Plans to leave on a ship from Genoa to South America in 1940 were canceled due to Italy's entrance in the war. Elisabeth Bamberger finally managed to emigrate via Russia and Japan to Ecuador. These experiences are recorded in a separate memoir (ME 28).
