    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.

    The Philippe Halsmann Affair : [1918-1973]. (1973)
    [Melrose, Massachusetts],
    Details
    Language: English
    Pages: 66 pages : , typescript.
    Year of publication: 1973
    Keywords: Halsman, Philippe. ; Dreyfus, Alfred, ; Ross, Martin H., ; Ruzicka, Ernst, ; Halsmann, Morduch Max, ; Ruzicka family. ; Buchenwald (Concentration camp) ; Anschluss movement, 1918-1938. ; Antisemitism 1918-1938. ; Jews Persecution 1933-1945. ; World War, 1939-1945. ; Austria. ; Tyrol (Austria) ; United States Emigration and immigration 1933-1945. ; Vienna (Austria) ; Manuscripts.
    Abstract: The memoirs were written in the 1970s in the United States. Description of family background. His father Dr. Ernst Ruzicka came from an assimilated Jewish family in Vienna, whereas his mother was born to an orthodox Jewish family in Galicia, Eastern Europe. The marriage only lasted a few years. Martin was raised by a Catholic governess, who contributed to his confusion in religious matters. He was enrolled in a local Gymnasium, and later on continued his studies at the Vienna University.The main part of the memoir concentrates on a detailed reflection and description of the “Halsman-trial” in 1928, where a young Jewish man from Latvia was charged with the murder of his father during an alpine tour in Tyrol. This trial contributed to an open outburst of anti-Semitism in Austria and even received international attention, comparable to the Dreyfus scandal in France a few decades earlier. The author reflects on the different stages of the trial and the increasing anti-Semitism during that process. He also describes the effect on his assimilated paternal family, who expressed their identification with the young Phillippe Halsmann as well as their worries about the injustice done. The father of the author published various articles in the “Neue Freie Presse” about the case and was involved in the trial regarding a crucial witness of the defence. He eventually wrote a book about the Halsman case, which was published in 1930.
    Abstract: On the day of the Anschluss in March of 1938, the author left Austria together with his brother and eventually emigrated to the United States. His father originally disapproved of their decision, assuming nobody would dare to lay a finger on the family of a World War One veteran. He later on was arrested by the Gestapo and sent to Buchenwald concentration camp, where he perished in 1941.
    Abstract: The memoirs end with a reflection on the parallels between the lives of Halsman's and his own family during a trip to Austria in 1973. It includes a petition to the Austrian president Franz Jonas to reverse the verdict in the Halsman case in order to remove a stigma not only from Halsman, but also from Austria.

    Keywords: Unger, Adolf, ; Clothing trade. ; Jews History 20th century. ; Tailors. ; Vienna (Austria) ; Autobiographies ; Biographical sources ; Memoirs
    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.
