Theresienstadt comes next, and the author points out the good features as opposed to his later experiences in Auschwitz. He describes the efforts to make Theresienstadt look prettier, before the International Red Cross delegation arrived. Soon thereafter, the infamous movie documentary about Thersienstadt was shot. Firtz Joseph describes many details of the false set-up. Then he was separated from his wife and deported to Auschwitz. He describes the selection process, and many other components of the horror.

    Pages: 8 + 12 , typescript.
    Year of publication: 1946-2000
    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.

    Babys Tagebuch, (1927-1939)
    Details
    Language: German
    Pages: 144 pages.
    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.

It was Purim, and the Jews' celebration of the holiday was interrupted by gypsies. Many people were arrested, and because so many Jews were in costume, it was only at the police station that Jews were separated from gypsies.

The synagogue’s caretaker (Shammes) was also the town's fire chief, and he led the brave battle to contain the flames. The town's mayor honored him as a hero, and the entire community celebrated.
