    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.

    Keywords: Dreifus, Claudia. ; Jewish families 1918-1933. ; Jews Persecutions 1933-1945. ; Berlin (Germany) ; United States Emigration and immigration. ; Autobiographies ; Biographical sources ; Memoirs
    Abstract: In a memoir written for her daughters, Inge (Irene) Brenner recounts her family’s history, growing up in Berlin with her parents, her maternal grandfather Samuel Oppenheimer and her two sisters, Lony (born 1913) and Marianne (born 1922). She tells of the hardship that befell Jewish families after the Nazis’ rise to power. Her sister Lony left for Paris in 1933 and later worked as a secretary for the Zionist politician Vladimir Jabotinsky. Inge met her future husband Hans (Harold) Brenner in 1937 in Berlin; he was able to immigrate with the help of an American cousin and sent for Inge soon after Kristallnacht. They met in Havana, Cuba, and were married there. He returned to New York while Inge waited for her visa in Cuba, then entered the United States via Miami. Hans and Inge lived in a small apartment in Washington Heights, eventually joined by his parents as well as Inge’s parents and younger sister Marianne. When Lony and her husband Maurice arrived from Paris, they started a small business that employed several members of the family. Hans and Inge had two daughters, Barbara and Jessica; Maurice and Lony had one daughter named Linda. Inge also describes her younger sister’s life in some detail. Marianne, in an ultimately broken marriage with Henry Dreifus, gave birth to her only daughter at the age of 22. Claudia Dreifus was raised until the age of eight by her grandmother, Emma Willdorff, and later by her father and step-mother. Marianne went on to suffer a nervous breakdown, followed by a severe car accident. She spent her final years living in Reno with her second husband Aram Jorjorian. Following a second divorce, Marianne died at age 55.

    Abstract: The memoir was written in 1998 in Argentina. Gabriel Groszman describes the family history reaching back to the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. Anti-Semitism and the blood libel trial of Tisza Eszlar. His father, who was born in the Habsburg empire, fought in World War One. In 1918 counter revolution in Hungary under Admiral Horthy, who established a semi-fascist regime. Childhood memories of the Jewish life in Vamosmikola, a small Hungarian village of 1500 inhabitants and 25 Jewish families. Both of his grandparents had small stores and did fairly well. Encounters of anti-Semitism in a predominantly Catholic environment. With Hitler's rise in Germany Admiral Horthy became encouraged to reinforce Anti-Jewish regulations. Gabriel's father was forced to give up his grain-business, because agricultural related buisness was prohibited for Jews. Move to Budapest. Nazi occupation of Hungary in 1944. Imi, Gabriel's 18 years old brother, was taken to a copper mine in Yugoslavia. Gabriel himself at age 14 had to clean up factories after air raids. He got a position as a messenger boy at the Jewish community committee (Judenrat). Large Jewish population in Budapest (300.000) delayed the Nazi efforts of deportation. Concentration of the Jewish population in designated houses under restricted circumstances. House searches by the Nazis. Growing danger of deportation. Raol Wallenbergs intervention with the Swedish embassy provided the family with a special document of protection. They moved to the "Swedish house". In December 1944 the Nazis did not respect any longer the immunity of the protected Jewish families and started deporting people from there as well. The Nazis established a Jewish ghetto in a district of Budapest to prepare the final deportation of the Jewish population in Budapest. Approaching Russian troops cut the roads and crossed these plans. The family of Gabriel Groszman was still able to stay in the "Swedish house", though with limited protection.
    Abstract: Mass killing of Jewish people who were taken to the river Danube and shot by Hungarian Nazis. Gabriel's father bought forged papers for the family, stating them as Eastern Hungarian refugees. They moved out of the Ghetto and the "Swedish house" to the gentile district with forged identities. Air raids and advancing Russion troops. Their landlords discovered their true identity and restrained from denouncing them. After a few weeks Budapest was liberated by the Russians. The family moved to Vienna and lived there for three years, before they emigrated to Argentina.

    Abstract: The memoir was written after the first trip to Germany in 1996 with his wife Nina. It is a description of this visit and a reflection of the author's feelings towards Germany, and of the Holocaust and its remembrance. His stepfather Henry Levinstein and other family members would never talk about the events. Werner Kleeman was contacted to receive more information on the family roots in Germany--he was a friend of Fred Strauss from World War 2. On the trip, Robert and Nina Strauss went to Weisenbron, Germany, to visit the Jewish cemetery and finding out more about their ancestors. They encounter a woman who tells them about Samson Eichenbronner, Robert Strauss' great grandfather he did not know about. The next stop on the journey is Themar, home to Robert's stepfather Henry Levinstein. They meet a woman who not only knew members from the family, but also witnessed the persecution of Jews in this little town. They also discuss the East German past, since Themar was in former East Germany. To their surprise, people were quite nostalgic about their lives under a communist regime.

    Abstract: Jack Baruch Keil starts his memoir with a brief description of his family's roots in Jaroslav, Poland. His parents had hardly any money, and moved to Berlin in the 1920s, where his father started a business, selling eggs. He was quite successful, even under the severe economic conditions in Berlin. There was also time for young Jack to go on vacations to the Baltic Sea. In 1933, things changed drastically. Nazis devastated his father's store, the eggs were an easy target for causing damage. The family decided to emigrate to Austria where they had relatives, in order to avoid the Nazi threat. His father managed to build up a new business, and young Jack enjoyed the widened family. The memoir also briefly mentioned the political situation in Austria during the 1930s when Austria's governing party suspended the parliament, the Nazis assassinated the chancelor Dollfuss, and when the Nazis annexed Austria in March 1938. Again, the family was persecuted and had to leave. But the family did not even have passports which made it even more complicated to get a visa for emigration. Finally, they all ended up in Belgium, although only his mother had a visa.

    Abstract: The memoirs were written in 1996 at Lisa Seiden's home. The main time covered is her childhood in Vienna and her stay in Bath, England, during the war. Lisa Seiden describes daily life for a child in Vienna--the type of dolls she had, activities on a cold winter day, vaccations on the countryside. In 1938, she was not allowed to go to school anymore. She remembers many details during that time of horros--the anxious expressions in her parents' faces, the constant fear they had while being in the apartment. One day, the Gestapo was looking for her father, Friedrich Leist, but he was warned and did not return home. He had a hise-out and Lisa brought him food. It did not help--a few days later, he was sent to Dachau concentration camp. On December 17, 1938, Lisa and her brother Peter were sent via Kindertransport to England. Since their parents did not get visas for England, they emigrated to Argentine where an uncle lived. Lisa Seiden writes about her time in Englad, her foster parents, schooling, and air raids. In May of 1946, a ship takes Lisa and Peter to their parents in Buenos Aires, Argentine. The memoir includes copies of photographs showing family members, herself, her doll's house, and vaccation trips etc. There also many letters included, as well as bits of Lisa Seiden's brother's (Peter Leist) dairy.

    Abstract: The memoir starts with the death of Gert Loellbach’s parents in a ship accident in 1932. Gert was sent to live with his aunt in Kreuznach and was suddenly confronted with rising antisemitism due to Nazi propaganda. In Kreuznach he suddenly belonged to a visible minority at school, whereas in Berlin half of the students had been Jewish. Orthodox Jewish life at his aunt’s house. Gert had been brought up in an assimilated Jewish family. He was forced to leave school before taking the final exams (Abitur) and started to work in a wood trading company of his father’s friend. Soon thereafter the company was confiscated. Gert belonged to the Jewish sports group "Kadimah". Zionist activities and agricultural education in preparation for Palestine. Incidents and threats by Nazi groups. Gert became a youth leader for the district of Essen. Preparation for the members to emigrate. Night of the November pogrom in 1938 and his arrest. He was spared deportation to a concentration camp and was freed due to the intervention of the rabbi of his home town. After his release he made his way to Berlin with the help of a nun. Endeavors to free his colleagues from the concentration camp. Difficulties to obtain visas. Plans to bring members of the Zionist groups to Palestine. Gert Loellbach’s activities were made known to the Gestapo and he had to leave the country. Exit permit for Sweden. Gert left Germany in time and started to prepare young "Hechaluzim" in Sweden for their emigration to Palestine - a program started by Emil Glueck. The outbreak of the war inhibited their further emigration. Fear of invasion of Nazi Germany in South Sweden. He worked together with the Jewish Agency and corresponded with various inmates of concentration camps, which meant a certain degree of protection for them. In 1940 Gert organized an initiative to rescue members of the Youth Aliyah and the Jewish population in Denmark after the German invasion.
    Abstract: A camp for the Jewish refugees was established near the Swedish port of Helsingborg. Difficulties to find work for the refugees. Gert was sent to Stockholm to represent the Hechaluz organization and open a "Palestinabuero" for the Jewish Agency. Reports of the fate of other refugees. Norbert Masur and the Bernadotte-Aktion to free 28.000 inmates in concentration camps in 1944.
