    Abstract: The memoirs were written 1998 in London. The author describes the Rothenberg family's history going back to the late 18th century. Helmut Rothenberg's great-grandfather Emil Rothenberg was born 1853 in Goettingen. His mother died three years later, and Emil was brought up with relatives. In 1879 Emil Rothenberg married Fanny Karpf, whose ancestors came from southern Germany. Emil and Fanny lived in Nuernberg and had seven children. Their oldest son Isaak, the author's father, was born in 1880. He became a senior manager at the brass works of Aron Hirsch & Son in Halberstadt. In 1914 Isaak Rothenberg married Dora Moses, who came from a large orthodox family. Isaak and Dora Rothenberg had two sons; Helmut, born in 1915, was the oldest. His brother Karl-Heinz was born in 1917. In 1920 the family moved to Frankfurt, where Isaak Rothenberg joined a manufacturing business.

School trip to London in 1930. Private piano lessons and growing interest in music. Rising Nazism. Helmut Rothenberg graduated in 1933, shortly after Hitler had become chancellor of Germany. A few months later he left Frankfurt for England. He stayed with friends of his father in Cheshunt, where he started to work as a chartered accountant. Helmut's brother Heinz (Henry) joined him in 1934, as the condition in his school in Frankfurt had become intolerable. Summer vocations with their parents in Suffolk. In 1939 Isaak and Dora Rothenberg were able to emigrate to England - shortly before the outbreak of war with Germany. Henry joined the Pioneer Corps in 1939, while Helmut worked for the War Office. The family moved to London in 1940. Recollection of air raids and situation as enemy aliens.
