    Keywords: Tepper, Elsa, ; Tepper, Minna. ; Tepper, Wilhelm, ; Auschwitz (Concentration camp) ; Salaspils (Concentration camp) ; Stutthof (Concentration camp) ; Forced labor. ; Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) ; Holocaust survivors. ; World War, 1939-1945. ; Women authors. ; Lauenburg (Germany) ; Rīga (Latvia) ; Vienna (Austria) ; Autobiographies ; Biographical sources ; Memoirs
    Abstract: The memoir was written 1946 in Austria, shortly after her liberation. Minna recalls her deportation in February 1942. She was taken to Riga together with her parents and her husband. Her mother was killed upon their arrival. Her father and her husband were taken to Salaspils for forced labor, where the later perished. Minna, who was pregnant with her first child, was forced to undergo an abortion. She describes her experiences of Nazi sadism in the Ghetto of Riga, especially by the Ghetto commanders Krause and Roschmann. In 1943 Minna was taken for peat cutting labor to Olaine. In November 1943 Minna and her father were reunited at the concentration camp Kaiserwald near Riga. From there both were taken to Spilve - a labor camp at a German air base, which was under worse conditions than the first camp. They worked in the cold without appropriate shoes and in thin clothes. Due to the exhausting conditions Minna's father Wilhelm was getting weaker and eventually was deported to Auschwitz in April 1944. Minna was taken to Stutthof, which was overcrowded and in primitive conditions. They were taken to an exterior labor camp, where they had to build trenches for the German defense in the rain and cold. They suffered of constant hunger. In January 1945 the camp was dissolved and all sick and disabled were killed. They were marched under exhausting conditions in the snow and cold. For all missing women ten others were chosen randomly to be killed. After a week Minna was finally too exhausted to continue walking and stayed behind. The guard who was supposed to kill her fired the bullet over her head and left her for dead in the snow. She was rescued and brought to a house, where she was given food and a place to sleep. She was discovered by a German police officer, who was about to shoot her along with other Jewish fugitives. Minna was saved by her Viennese accent, which convinced him that she was a gentile woman.
    Abstract: She was taken to a mobile army hospital and treated for her frozen feet. In March 1945 Minna was liberated in Lauenburg, Prussia, where she was sent by German hospitals as an unidentified Jewish patient.

    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.

    Keywords: Jews Childhood and youth ; Education, Elementary. ; Jewish families Religious life. ; Jewish teachers. ; Autobiographies ; Biographical sources ; Memoirs
    Abstract: Growing up in a Yiddish and Russian environment in Kovno (Kaunas, Lithuania) on the banks of the Njemen River. His father was a tailor. A big part of the memoir is devoted to Matthias’ opposition to the ‘Cheder’, the traditional elementary school where Jewish boys were educated by rabbis. He nevertheless stayed in his pre-ordained track, continuing his Cheder studies at more advanced Talmud schools in the town of Rogol (?

After working in a friend’s lumber business, floating the tree trunks down the river, an accident rendered him almost blind, and he spent 6 months in the eye hospital in Königsberg.

    Abstract: “Babys Tagebuch” (Baby's Diary) started as a commercially available book about baby care [Moro-Drasch, Irene : Babys Tagebuch , Merkblaetter und die Grundzuege der Saeuglingspflege ; Graz 1925]. The book had empty pages to keep schedule of the baby’s development. Gerda Mayer's parents, Arnold and Erna Stein, made good use of it, and did not stop writing entries (with Arnold contributing to 50 pages in his rounded handwriting, and Erna contributing to 27 pages in her more formal hand). When their daughter grew older, the baby diary developed into a regular diary, in which they were addressing their daughter Gerda. They talk about their time together, their activities, but also the political events that affected the family, like anti-Semitism. The Steins kept a diary of their daughter Gerda from her birth in 1927 until her departure to England in 1939. There are also little drawings and scribbles by young Gerti.
    Note: The transcript of “Babys Tagebuch” is also microfilmed on MM 132.

    Abstract: Like her husband Julius Goldstein, Margarete Goldstein also kept appointment books and diaries, but was less consistent in her entries than Julius. Of particular interest among these are Margarete's extensive travel diaries, especially of the Goldsteins' trip to the United States in 1923-1924 when she lectured on social work and social conditions in Germany. Other trips taken include Milan in Italy, Bad Gastein in Austria, Bremerhafen, Spain, Paris, and several areas in Switzerland. Often hotel cards, postcards, or tickets are pasted to the pages of her travel diaries.

    Abstract: Diaries written by Hilde Lachmann Mosse between the age 16 and 21 (December 1928 until summer 1933). It is the diary of a teenage girl who is attending high school in Berlin. She is very idealistic, politically aware, Jewish oriented, and has clear feminist concepts. She attends lectures concerning contemporary policial events (e.g. Voelkerbund), the Reform Synagogue Youth Association (1929), has lengthy discussions with her teachers and friends (e.g. her friend Ilse Frank) concerning religious and social issues, about the violent issues of fascism, capitalism, as well as about the education of children. One of her constant concerns is the absence of co-educational schools. She is well read and reviews many of the books she read. Some of the diary books also contain compositions, such as a composition comparing the biblical Jacob and the Jacob in Beer Hofmann (diary 3), essay on Joan of Arc, Max Nordau, Zweig's Nietzsche biography, Goethe's Urgoetz (diary 16). 1929 she travels to London (diary 6) and to Russia (diary 7). Other activities: member of the Jewish Youth Club, Association Internationale des Etudiants de Boulogne, playing tennis (Blau-Weiss), studying violin, rowing, working on her special subject "History of socialism", member of the Zugscharen, a leftist organisation. In 1930 she presents a paper at the Jewish Youth Conference in London (diary 14).

    Abstract: From 1929 until his emigration to the United States, Albert Einstein spent the summer months in a wooden summer house in the village of Caputh, just outside of Berlin. There he held a guestbook, given to him by a neighbor, which was signed by many of his visitors. On page 2, Einstein encouraged his visitors to sign the guestbook in verse, putting his demand into a humorous little poem under the title “Decree” - “Verordnung”, signed by “the landlord” – “der Hausherr”. In the fall of 1931, the artist Hermann Struck illustrated the top of page 4; it then was signed, among others, by Chaim Weizmann, visiting from London.

    Abstract: Julius Goldstein was a conscious keeper of diaries and the collection includes an almost complete set of diaries and appointment books from 1891 until his death in 1929. Julius Goldstein's diaries discuss themes such as family life in early twentieth century Germany, political events, and the rising inflation after World War I. Included in diary entries is information on Julius Goldstein's trips, lectures, the health of his family members, and his children. Two topics touched on in the diaries are deserving of special mention: Goldstein's notes on a meeting with the philosopher Henri Bergson in 1912 and the diaries from the war years, running from the naïve enthusiasm of August 1914 to the deep disillusionment of November 1918.

    Abstract: This essay was an attempt to show that Jews had been the equals of non-Jewish front soldiers in the first World War. By showing many examples of individual heroic acts, Eugen Neter makes the point that Jewish soldiers were only identified as Jewish, if they failed in their military duties, but not if they performed heroic acts. Another section deals with the relationship between Jewish and non-Jewish soldiers. Eugen Neter concludes from his own studies that in many personal encounters religious prejudice was invisible.
    Abstract: Neter mentions German Zionists who returned from Palestine in order to participate as German soldiers in World War I; and he honors specifically the Jewish poets Hugo Zuckermann and Walter Heymann who were killed during the war.
