    Abstract: Elisabeth Bab née Loos recollects her childhood as the only child of an affluent Protestant family in Kiel. She was later enrolled in a girls school in Berlin. She describes her teacher, the women's activist Helene Lange. Attending the Lehrerinnenseminar (teacher's seminary), she became increasingly interested and involved in the women’s movement. Upon graduation she found a teaching position in London. She describes her experience working as an educator in an aristocratic family. She next took a teaching position in Potsdam. Following this, she moved to Bonn to complete her university studies. She describes university life in Bonn, including social aspects. Due to the tight financial situation in her family her dream to study medicine could not be fulfilled. Her father died in 1904. Elisabeth moved to Berlin to continue her studies. She met Julius Bab through literary events in Berlin and a courtship ensued. She describes the reaction of the Bab family to their son marrying a gentile. After their wedding Elizabeth found a position as a teacher in a private school and Julius worked as a dramatic adviser in a theater. Both continued their studies at the Berlin University. She describes the birth and raising of her three children. She also describes her social and professional life as part of the literary, theatrical, and artistic community that existed in Berlin during this time. After describing life during World War One, she discusses the continued social and familial events in her life amid the backdrop of the Weimar Republic and the rise of the Nazis to power. The Babs became involved in the foundation of the “Kulturbund Deutscher Juden.” As Nazi persecution increased the family sought exist visas to leave. The Babs managed to emigrate to Paris in 1939.
    Abstract: At the outbreak of World War II, Julius Bab was interred by the French authorities as an enemy alien. Elisabeth describes the subsequent German occupation of France in 1940, and the methods in which the Bab’s managed to make it to New York in the same year.
