Abstract:
After a description of family history, Willy Alterthum continues to order the chapters chronologically. They are entitled "childhood", "school", "studies and professional preparations; baptizing, engagement, first professional years", "further professional years; World War", "reconstruction", and finally the period from 1929-1939. Emphasis is on World War I, rise of Nazism and professional experiences as a lawyer. Included are copies of photographs, letters, school certificates. There is also a section written by his wife Gertrud. There are eulogies at the end, dedicated to Gertrud Alterthum. Finally, there is a factual report at the end about the population, geography, languages, and general civilisation in Brazil, written by Willy Alterthum in 1946.
