    Pages: 8 + 12 , typescript.

    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: 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).

Memories of Easter celebrations. Salon of her aunt Emma, who had famous guests such as the conductor Wilhelm Furtwaengler and the pianist Edwin Fischer. The family valued cultural activities highly, and the children were introduced to operas at an early age. Each of the children had piano lessons. Hilda was sent to a private school. She grew up never exposed to politics and did not know of her Jewish origin until the second year of school. Summer vacations in the mountains and at her cousins in Den Hague.

After graduation, during the peak of inflation times, she was assigned for a homemaking school in Rothenburg, where she was confronted with antisemitism for the first time.

    Abstract: Rise of national socialism. Dismissal of the Jewish theater director and growing awareness of the political threat in Germany. Rejection of further engagements.

    Year of publication: 1927-1939
    Keywords: Mayer, Gerda (née Stein) ; Childbirth ; Families Children. ; Jews Persecutions ; Jews Persecutions ; Diaries ; Autobiographies ; Biographical sources ; Diaries. ; Autobiography.
    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.

    Pages: 3 volumes : , typed and bound manuscripts, double sided +
    Additional Material: + 3 CDs
    Year of publication: 1930-1933
    Keywords: Jewish lawyers ; Thuringia (Germany) Personal narratives. Social life and customs ; Memoirs ; Autobiographies ; Biographical sources ; Lawyers ; Genealogy
    Abstract: The three volumes of Jacob Simon’s Memoirs (Lebens Erinnerungen) were written in the postwar period 1919-1933. In Volume I he writes about his family’s 19th century history and his own life experiences in pre-Holocaust Germany. Based on his own genealogical research he displays a family tree which traces the family’s roots back to Vitus von Worms in Frankfurt in 1485. Starting from the 18th century he shows connections to Hoffactor Simon Levi Simon (1749-1826), the progenitor of the Simon family in Hildburghausen. Volume II deals entirely with his law practice. More than 100 cases are described in anecdotal form; these cases are grouped in a legal outline format and range from sexual offenses to Communist riots. Much discussion deals with the difficulty in making the transition from medieval property law to the civil code (BGB) in a still largely agrarian society. In Volume III he discusses philosophy, Jewish history, politics, and Judaism. In the supplement to this volume are included sections on Yiddish expressions and 19th century Hildburghausen recollections.
    Abstract: In addition the collection contains a complete English translation of the original three German volumes. Five recently discovered notebooks hand-written in old German script that appear to be the original draft of Volume I are also displayed.
    Abstract: Memoirs and family history dating back to the 15th century. The memoirs deal primarily with the author’s law firm from the end of the 19th to the early 20th century, as well as his views of religion and Judaism. Five handwritten notebooks in old German script were the basis for the author’s memoirs; they are also available in an English translation.
