    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: Interview with Helen Schuster conducted by Norton B. Stern as part of the Oral History Program of the Archives of the Jewish Community Library of the Jewish Federation-Council of Greater Los Angeles.
    Abstract: From 1901 on the Schuster family resided in Los Angeles, while their business was located at Holbrook, Arizona (involved in stock raising). They were heavily involved with the Jewish community in Los Angeles. They became members of B'nai B'rith (and maintained membership at least until 1917). Very active social life in LA, many Jewish families around. The family home was established in the nine hundred block south of Beacon Street. The members of the family participated in social activities of the principal Jewish Club of pioneer settlers, the Concordia, and later joined the Hillcrest Country Club. Helen Schuster's father Adolf Schuster was born in Westphalia (Germany) in February 1863 (?). His twin brother was Ben Schuster. Adolf immigrated to the USA in 1878 to avoid conscription. The family is related to the Schuster family of San Francisco. Ben came to the USA in 1883 and in 1884 Adolf decided to establish his own business. May 1884, the A.&B. Schuster Company was established, a general merchandise business, at Bernalillo, New Mexico. Their main store was located in Holbrook, Arizona, from 1900 on. They opened branch stores in St. Johns and Whiteriver. Another brother (?) came to Arizona in 1900 to work for the family business. Adolf Schuster became the confidante of the Indians who conducted business in Holbrook because he gave them credit. His Indian name was "The Man who looks like the Other Man" (because of his twin brother Ben). He learned Spanish in order to be able to communicate with the Indians. In 1888 the Holbrook store was destroyed by fire. In the late 1880s the Schusters conducted a freighting business. The Schusters owned wagons and contracted with the Federal Government to haul supplies from Holbrook to Fort Apache (army post). Large number of men and drivers hired.
    Abstract: A.&B. Schuster Company was incorporated in the fall of 1911. (Ben died December 1911) Helen Schuster's brother Richard and later his wife took over the business when Adolf had died in 1934. After she died Helen's cousin operated it for a time, then it was passed on to her. She sold it to the company's manager, who liquidated the business in the late 1960s.

    Abstract: Incomplete memoir in honor of Nachum Sakiel, written by an unknown author ten years after the liberation of the Warsaw Ghetto. There is a reference to another book by the same author, titled "Vogelfrei im Zwanzigsten Jahrhundert".
    Abstract: Before the war Nachum Sakiel owned an antique store in Warsaw. Through contacts to the Japanese consulate, he obtained Manchurian citizenship and became Manchuria’s official representative in Warsaw. This enabled him and his wife to live legally outside of the ghetto although they were Jewish. They dedicated themselves to the rescue of Jews who had escaped from the ghetto. Nachum Sakiel distributed fake passports and other documents; he hid people and provided them with money. One of those was the author of this memoir, who later became his friend and secretary.

    Abstract: Fritz Weiss describes the time he spent in British internment, more than three years, during World War II. Chapters 1-3 deal with the events prior to him being sent to the Isle of Man, such as his arrival in London and his stay in Devonshire. Chapters 4-5 describe the German torpedo attack and subsequent sinking of the "Arandora Star" and the dramatic rescue of some of the internee passengers. The ship was on a voyage from Liverpool to St. John's, Newfoundland, with internees and prisoners of war. In chapters 6-8 Fritz Weiss describes his recovery and respite in Scotland, his subsequent outdoor interment on English moors and his eventual transfer to the Isle of Man. His stay in the internment camp on the Isle of Man is described in detail in chapter 9. Weiss notes that German-Jewish refugees and German prisoners of war were sometimes interned together and that they often got along remarkably well. Chapters 10-11 further describe the internment camp and his eventual release.
