    Menschenjagd : [1942-1945]. (1946-2000)

    Language: German
    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.

    Keywords: Cohn family. ; Ehrenstamm family. ; Ehrlich family ; Goldschmidt family. ; Hirschfeld family. ; Lessing family. ; Muther, Richard, ; Steinschneider family. ; Art Study and teaching. ; Jews Genealogy. ; International travel. ; Jewish way of life. ; Manners and customs 20th century. ; Women art historians. ; Women authors. ; Wrocław (Poland) ; Europe Description and travel. ; Palestine Emigration and immigration. ; Autobiographies ; Biographical sources ; Memoirs
    Abstract: Toni Ehrlich starts her 12 chapter "Recollections" by describing the changes that happened during the approx. 80 years of her lifetime, 1880-1964. She comments knowledgeably (and quite wittily and completely) on the developments that took part in the fields of household work, attire and clothing design, dances and leisure time-spending, transportation and infrastructure, medicine and medical treatment. She concludes her first chapter with remarks on the changes on the political and social sector; science, space travel and the exploration of atomic power she also mentions.
    Abstract: She then draws the picture of girls' education during the days of her youth in Breslau. She describes her alien feeling as a Jew amongst non-Jews and after being treated unfairly by German literature teacher and switching to a one third Jewish school. She is being transferred to the municipal Augusta-Schule where she drops out in 1896. Her mother takes her along on cultural trips, she sees Sicily, Corsica, the Netherlands, England, Scotland, Norway, the Orient and Rome in her late teens and early twenties. She spends her time self-teaching and starts attending Richard Muther's art history lectures at Breslau university. She becomes Muther's private assistant in 1902 (due to the lack of a regular "Abitur" she could not be a university employee). She helped Felix Rosen, who would later become a close friend, to complete his book "Die Natur in der Kunst" (Nature in Art) by researching photo material. She becomes acquainted with economist Werner Sombart. Muther sends her on trips to London, Milan and Sienna, Luxembourg, Rome where she is supposed to meet with scholars, artists and collectors and buy art from them. She is guest in the house of Eugene Mu(e)ntz (biographer of Leonardo DaVinci) in 1902 in Paris. There she also meets Rodin on the basis of a letter of recommendation by Jelka Rosen (an artist living in Paris at the time, who later married the composer Delius). She publishes her first academic paper on the Italian painter Rossetti in the Frankfurter Zeitung (after 1902). Gets acquainted with Max Lehmann, professor for history at the university of Goettingen (Germany) with whom she is keeping a letter-friendship over 25 years. Gets papers published in Deutsche Rundschau and Berliner Tageblatt. Is focusing on child psychology in relation to art later on.
    Abstract: In 1904 she starts teaching art history at a school. She mentions briefly that she got engaged in 1906. She writes of having children. In 1925 she gives lectures at the gallery of the Kaiser Friedrich Museum in Berlin (lived there one and a half years) until the "premature death" of her husband. She continues giving private art history lessons in Breslau to sustain the family until the rise of Hitler made it impossible for her to welcome non-Jews to her classes. She emigrates to Palestine in 1939.
    Abstract: Her recollections then go back and into detail at certain episodes (travels, meetings with artists, photography etc.). She mentions to have been in possession of some autographs by Eleonora Duse and Ricarda Huch. One chapter deals with her life at Kleinburg, a Southern garden- suburb of Breslau, where Berlin architect Ernst Lessing built their house according to her husbands plans. She recounts a Scottish girl living with her family, Bessie Wilson (now Mrs. Archer at Salisbury) when she was still a teenager.
    Abstract: She goes into detail about her family tree: father's paternal side: Goldschmidts (great-grandfather: Salomon Elias Goldschmidt, founder of family-firm S. E. Goldschmidt & Son founded in Breslau in 1810 until Hitler). Her mother's side: Ehrenstamm-Steinschneiders from Austria. Feith Ehrenstamm (Napoleonic Era) was "only genius of the family". Robert Rother was her grandfather, her mother's maternal side came from the Hirschfelds. Husband’s maternal side changes name from Cohn to Lessing, Husband’s grandfather was Heymann Cohn. Husband’s paternal side was Ehrlichs, who ran the family business of “Herz & Ehrlich”. Husband’s grandmother was Mathilde Ehrlich, who was a descendent of the Auerbachs of Posen.

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 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.
