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.

    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: 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: 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.

    Keywords: Mayer, Gerda (née Stein) ; Childbirth ; Families Children. ; Jews Persecutions ; Jews Persecutions ; Diaries ; Autobiographies ; Biographical sources ; Diaries. ; Autobiography.
    Abstract: “Babys Tagebuch” (Baby's Diary) started as a commercially available book about baby care [Moro-Drasch, Irene : Babys Tagebuch , Merkblaetter und die Grundzuege der Saeuglingspflege ; Graz 1925]. The book had empty pages to keep schedule of the baby’s development. Gerda Mayer's parents, Arnold and Erna Stein, made good use of it, and did not stop writing entries (with Arnold contributing to 50 pages in his rounded handwriting, and Erna contributing to 27 pages in her more formal hand). When their daughter grew older, the baby diary developed into a regular diary, in which they were addressing their daughter Gerda. They talk about their time together, their activities, but also the political events that affected the family, like anti-Semitism. The Steins kept a diary of their daughter Gerda from her birth in 1927 until her departure to England in 1939. There are also little drawings and scribbles by young Gerti.
    Note: The transcript of “Babys Tagebuch” is also microfilmed on MM 132.

The first chapter "March 1938" (14 pages) covers events after 'Anschluss' in Gmuend, Lower Austria, such as the loss of her husband's factory. They escaped to Vienna, where her husband’s colleague was Consul of the Dominican Republic and provided them with visas. At the same time, they registered for US visas. The chapter closes with a description of "Kristallnacht". The second chapter “Ciudad Trujillo, Feb.11, 1939” (15 pages) covers their emigration to the Dominican Republic. The third chapter “Ciudad Trujillo, March 15, 1939” (8 pages) is about settling down in Santo Domingo and the difficulties of adapting to the new culture.

    Abstract: Simon Isaacs starts his essay in 1933 and describes the increasing expulsion of the Jewish people. He was dismissed from his teaching position in 1935, but he worked at a Jewish hospital in Frankfurt/Main until 1939. He writes about the changing situation in Germany, when the Nazi party got more and more powerful, when Jewish physicians were not permitted to examine non-Jewish patients. Simon Isaac was able to save his wife and the two children. They had the possibility to emigrate to England and he is very grateful to the English government and the people that absorbed the refugees.

    Keywords: Parsonnet, Mia (nee Eimer), ; Jews History 1918-1938. ; 1918-1938 ; Emigration and immigration ; Kristallnacht, 1938. ; Jews History 1918-1938. ; Women authors. ; Austria History Anschluss, 1938. ; Autobiographies ; Biographical sources ; Memoirs
    Abstract: This diary entry (translation from German original) was written on February 8, 1939, just ten days before Mia Parsonnet's family was about to leave Vienna for good. It sums up the three years that had passed after she had written her last diary entry. The first memories cover vacations in the Austrian countryside, followed by the entrance exams for the Academy of Music in Vienna. But the main part of the diary entry is about the events of the "Anschluss" in March 1938, and its consequences--the persecution, imprisonment of family members. Mia Parsonnet remembers in detail listening to Czech radio during the "Czechoslovak Crisis" when Czechoslovakia initiated a partial mobilization in response to rumours of German troop movements. The next threatening event was the pogrom in November 1938, the "Kristallnacht". Mia Parsonnet provides a detailed and intriguing account of the events when the Gestapo tried to get hold of her father who was hiding in the basement. On February 1, 1939, the torture was nearly over for Mia Parsonnet--she got her affidavit for the USA.
