    Geschichte und Erlebnisse der Familie Heinrich Bamberger, Frankfurt, waehrend der Hitler-Zeit in Deutschland. (1978)
    Details
    Language: German
    Pages: 91 + 50 + 66 pages : , handwritten manuscript (photocopy) +
    Additional Material: 2 typescripts
    Year of publication: 1978
    Keywords: Bamberger, Heinrich, ; Bamberger family. ; Centralverein Deutscher Staatsbürger Jüdischen Glaubens. ; Jews Personal narratives, German. 1933-1945 ; Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) ; Jewish families. ; Kristallnacht, 1938. ; Women authors. ; Women Societies and clubs. ; Germany Emigration and immigration. ; Autobiographies ; Biographical sources ; Memoirs
    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).
