    Abstract: Irene Runge’s 14th book was written on occasion of her 63rd birthday: instead of a speech, it was printed and delivered to 63 of her friends. The book is a memoir, and jumps back and forth in time. It consists mostly of personal memories and anecdotes, but there are also reflective passages and analyses. It is divided into many chapters, which resemble diary entries. Irene Runge was a member of the "second generation": She was born in the New York exile, but her parents moved back to Germany during a political climate in the USA, when it became very difficult for sympathizers with the communist party. Her memories give rich insight into the life as an emigrant in New York, but also as a re-emigrant in Germany. She writes about her disappointments with the evolving German Democratic Republic (GDR; experiences, which repeated again in 1989/1990, when the reunification with West Germany took place. The year 1989 had practical consequences for her private life when she lost her job at the university, because her past seemed not compatible. She discusses the PDS, the party which evolved from the communist party of Eastern Germany after the "Wende" (reunification), and life in Berlin after the reunification. At one point she asks whether the current Turkish-Muslim community in Berlin could be comparable to the living conditions of the Jewish community in the 1930. This is a rare memoir documenting many recent aspects of German-speaking Jewry.

    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.

    Abstract: This memoir was written after 1945. In it, Paul Barnay describes his family history. His grandfather came from Slovakia and moved to Budapest in the early 19th century. Paul's father studied medicine and moved to Vienna. Paul Barnay's mother, Ilka Barnay, was a pianist and a writer. Paul was born after her second marriage in 1882. His parents converted to Christianity in order to legalize their marriage. Ilka Barnay was a talented woman who supported her husband with translations and piano lessons. Theater and cultural events were very important for the family, and Paul Barnay also describes enjoying playing soccer. He also recounts some experiences with anti-semitism.First experiences of anti-Semitism, and difficulties with his classmates due to his convert status. In 1903 Paul moved to Berlin, where he stayed with his uncle, the theater director Ludwig Barnay. Paul was an acting student at the "Reicher'sche Hochschule fuer dramatische Kunst". During this period he had several romances, and also fell into discord with his uncle. . After being in a number of productions, Paul was promoted to a position at the court theater in Neustrelitz.. From here he became a director of a play in Regensburg. His success in the theater world increased, and he began to travel with productions. In 1914 Paul married his long-time fiancé Lina and both were offered positions at a theater in Bremen. During World War I Paul served with the German military. Paul experienced the cultural life of Vienna, and met both Peter Altenberg and Anton Kuh. At the end of the war in 1918 he found a position as a theater director in Kattowitz. He directly experienced and describes in his memoir the Revolution of 1919, and the following integration of Silesia into Poland. He took a position as director in Breslau in 1921. His professional success increased throughout the Weimar period, and he received many offers from theaters across Germany for work.
    Abstract: When the Nazis seized power in 1933, Paul was arrested and then forced to resign from his theater in 1933. He fled first to Austria, and then to Hungary in 1938. He describes his life as a refugee, and the increasing threat of anti-Semitism in Hungary. With the German occupation of Hungary in 1944, Paul was forced into the Budapest Ghetto and had to submit to forced labor. He survived by going into hiding. Upon his liberation in 1945 he went to Vienna. In Vienna he received a position as a director of the "Volkstheater."
