Kurzfassung: The diaries of Toni Ehrlich – 29 handwritten notebooks – document her life on an almost day to day basis, beginning on April 1, 1906 and ending with a single word (“Lo”, meaning “no” in Hebrew) on October 21, 1969. Her thoughts and observations concentrate mostly on matters and issues of art and culture, as well as – to a lesser degree – current events. Private matters, including life changing ones - like her husband’s death -, are mentioned on the side, if at all. The original diaries in old German handwriting are accompanied by detailed summaries in English and a list of names, provided by Irene Miller.

Kurzfassung: Photocopy of German original manuscript and English typed translation of Clara Suess's diary.

Kurzfassung: The diary was written during September 1941 on board of the ship Navemare which transported refugees from Spain to New York City. On October 22, 1940, Clara Suess and her husband were arrested by the Gestapo at their home in Mannheim, Germany. The very next day, they found themselves on a train to France. The journey ended at the French internment camp Gurs, close to the Spanish border. They received an invitation to appear at the American consulate in Marseille, France, in February 1941. So they were released from Gurs. On May 16, 1941, they were notified that their visas were granted. Their children, who were already in the USA paid for the passage. They took the train to Spain where they boarded the ship Navemare. On September 12, 1941, they arrived in New York City.
