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.

    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: The book contains an introduction by Paul Weisz and a collection of family letters written during World War II. The letters were written between February 1938 and September 1945. Some were translated into English and complemented by commentary by the editor, Paul Weisz. Paul Weisz' introduction is 10 pages long and serves as a short memoir by itself. He provides a family chronicle, the living circumstances of his family, and his childhood in Vienna. He ends in 1938 when the family was eager to leave Austria. The following years are covered by the various letters he brought together in this book. The authors are cousin Willie, then already in Palestine, his father Samuel, his mother Stephanie, and his sister Ruth. His father and mother fled to Belgium, but were arrested after the beginning of World War II. They were deported to internment camps in France (St. Cyprien). His sister Ruth tried to escape from Austria to Palestine via the Danube. She got stuck in Yugoslavia, and was interned in Sabac internment camp. Paul's mother died in France in 1942, his father was sent to a concentration camp in Poland and murdered. His sister Ruth was murdered in Yugoslavia. Paul was released in Canada, and was enabled to go to college. He later named his children after his family members who did not survive the Nazi terror: Stephanie, Ruth, and Samuel.

    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: Letter written by Eva Clarke's mother to her daughter describing her life following her deportation in 1941.
    Abstract: Eva Clarke's mother lived in Prague. Her husband was sent to Theresienstadt on November 28, 1941; she was sent a few weeks later. In September 1943 she became pregnant. In December, her parents were sent to the East and never returned. In February 1944, her child, a boy called Dan, was born, but he died after two month of pneumonia. In 1944, they received the news that the Allied Forces were moving across France. In July 1944, she became again pregnant. Her husband was sent away on September 28, she followed on October 1. She never saw her husband again, he was shot during the evacuation of Auschwitz on January 18, 1945. After a short stop in Dresden, she was also sent to Auschwitz. Her parents, sisters and Peter ended in the gas chamber. She and her unborn baby only survived because there were not enough workers, so she was used for slave labor. Dr. Mengele selected her with the words “This time a very good quality”. Shortly afterwards, she was again sent away in a freight train, this time to Freiberg/Saxony, where she manufactured V-1s. When it became obvious in January 1945 that she was pregnant, it was too late to send her back to Auschwitz, so she went to Mauthausen and was brought there with dying women to a camp hospital. During this trip she got her baby. The Americans were not far away, so the Germans were more frightened than she was and the gas chamber of Mauthasen had been blown up only one day before. She and her baby, a girl who first was mistakenly described as a boy, survived the Shoah. She left Czechoslovakia together with her new husband in 1948 and settled in Great Britain.

    Abstract: Adolf Unger was born on July 6, 1863 in Enying, Hungary. His parents were Nathan Unger who was born in Burgenland, Austria, and Julie Deutsch, nee Deutsch, born in Goerbe, Hungary. In 1874, the family moved to Vienna, and young Adolf had to learn German. He was dropping out of school at age 14, and started an apprenticeship as tailor. He soon became a salesperson for his uncle’s store “Ignaz Weisz”. After his uncle died, he took over his business. After a few years, he changed the name to “Alfred Unger, master tailor”. The store which was located at Rochusgasse in the third Viennese district, grew bigger and bigger, and its name was changed again, “Kleiderhaus Monopol”. His brother Ludwig became a tailor and worked for him until December 1938, when his trade certificate was taken away by the Nazis. Only a few days before World War 2 broke out, on August 16, 1939, Adolf Unger could flee to London, England, with his wife, where he died in 1941.

    Abstract: Hildegard’s 1945 and 1967 memoirs are written as diaries. The 1945 memoir was translated from Czech to German by Heinz Koenig. Hildegard describes her experience of deportation and her life in concentration camps. In December 1941, her family was summoned to the collection point in Prague. However, her sick mother Irma and twin sister Ingeborg were permitted to remain in Prague.

Hildegard registered for a women's labor group and was sent to the Krivoklat Forest for two months. Difficult circumstances of the Theresienstadt Ghetto. Obtaining contact with her father. On May 18, 1944, Hildegard and her father were deported on Transport Eb to Auschwitz-Birkenau. The horror of the arrival and worrying about her father's fate.

They found refuge in Birkenstedt, where a woman gave them food and allowed them to stay. German soldiers arrived at the place and took them to the mayor. They were questioned and asked to prove their German citizenship. Using the pseudonym Hilda Lehmann, she invented a story that they were Germans who had fled from the bombed Sudetengau. Again questioning, but this time an SS officer believed them and they could go. They were sent to a factory in Weisswasser. Constant danger of being discovered. Acquaintance with a young woman from her factory. Escape from the approaching Russians. Taking refuge from air raids. Liberation by the Americans in May 1945.

She volunteered for a women's labor group outside of the camp. Harsh circumstances and constant hunger. Reunited with her father in Theresienstadt. Friendship and engagement with the singer Josef Loewy. Distress when the couple was separated and Josef was sent with one of the transports to an unknown fate.

In May 1944 Hildegard and her father Karl Taussig were sent with one of the last transports from Theresienstadt to Auschwitz. Unbearable condition in the cattle trains. Arrival shock in Auschwitz-Birkenau. Separation of her father. Dreadful circumstances of the camp life.

She was selected for slave labor and transferred to the camp Christianstadt in Germany. Hard conditions in the camp. Constant hunger. Work in a ammunition factory. In December 1944 the camp was dissolved and the women were marched in the cold and snow without appropriate clothes and shoes. Unbearable conditions of the march. After five days of exhaustion Hildegard decided she could not go on and escaped in the night. She found refuge at a woman, who gave her food and allowed her to stay. To her dismay Hildegard was confronted by four SS men who also stayed at the place. They took her to the mayor, where she was interrogated.
    Abstract: She told them she was a bombed German citizen. They did not find the Auschwitz number tattooed on her arm due to the tight sleeve of her blouse, so she was set free. She was sent to a factory in Weisswasser. Approaching Russian troops and air raids. Hildegard was sent as a help to a family near Jena. Confrontation with SS men who were living there. Constant danger of being discovered as a Jewish fugitive. In May 1945 liberation by the American army.
