The memoir starts with their arrest in Amsterdam, Westerbork - the place they were deported to at first - is mentioned, but not described. Bergen-Belsen gets more attention, Fritz Joseph describes daily work routine, and living conditions in the camp. 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.

After a few days he could return to Amsterdam where he met his wife - she had survived as well. A 10 page long It can be found in the file as well.

    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.

    [Rzeszow Jews and censuses] / (1950)
    1950 :[publisher not identified],
    Details
    Pages: 11 + 6 pages : , handwritten manuscript; typescript.
    Year of publication: 1950
    Keywords: Jari, Mosche. ; Schmelkes, Gedaliah ben Mordecai, ; Demographic surveys. ; Zionism. ; Zionism and Judaism. ; Dukla (Poland) ; Galicia (Poland and Ukraine) ; Court decisions and opinions. ; Autobiographies ; Biographical sources ; Memoirs
    Abstract: The memoir (original German manuscript and a typed English translation) documents the early moments of the Zionist movement in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Before a census was held, Zionists tried to convince Jewish residents to note down "Jewish" as their language. Zionists hoped that this would bring them recognition as a nation. The author explains how Zionist meetings were prohibited by the ruling class and what attempts were undertaken to legalize them by Zionist activists. One of those illegal meetings took place in Dukla, where the author held the introductory speech. A city official tried to close the meeting, but was sent away. Some time thereafter, a law suit was filed against the author of this memoir. He then describes the setting of the court hearing and his pleas. The judge dismissed the case which was perceived as a huge victory for the Zionist cause.
    Abstract: The memoir is part of the "Rzeszow Community Memorial Book" (Poland), edited by M. Yari-Wold, published in Tel Aviv, by Former residents of Rzeszow in Israel and the USA, 1967. A translation was published online by http://www.jewishgen.org.

    Year of publication: 1950
    Keywords: Jews Childhood and youth ; Education, Elementary. ; Jewish families Religious life. ; Jewish teachers. ; Autobiographies ; Biographical sources ; Memoirs
    Abstract: Growing up in a Yiddish and Russian environment in Kovno (Kaunas, Lithuania) on the banks of the Njemen River. His father was a tailor. A big part of the memoir is devoted to Matthias’ opposition to the ‘Cheder’, the traditional elementary school where Jewish boys were educated by rabbis. He nevertheless stayed in his pre-ordained track, continuing his Cheder studies at more advanced Talmud schools in the town of Rogol (? Ariogala, Lithuania) and in the city of Kjelmü (Kielmy, Lithuania). After working in a friend’s lumber business, floating the tree trunks down the river, an accident rendered him almost blind, and he spent 6 months in the eye hospital in Königsberg. He became a private teacher for well-to-do Jewish families, and he taught for some time in his own Cheder in the village of Maklow. When he worked as a private tutor on an estate in the Lithuanian woods, he became permanently blind.
    Note: Matthias Salzberg is probably identical with Matityahu Salzberg, author of the Hebrew language novel ‘Shurat ha-kavod’ about Jews in Lithuania. , German
