    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. Norbert Masur and the Bernadotte-Aktion to free 28.000 inmates in concentration camps in 1944.
