Kurzfassung:
The three volumes of Jacob Simon’s Memoirs (Lebens Erinnerungen) were written in the postwar period 1919-1933. In Volume I he writes about his family’s 19th century history and his own life experiences in pre-Holocaust Germany. Based on his own genealogical research he displays a family tree which traces the family’s roots back to Vitus von Worms in Frankfurt in 1485. Starting from the 18th century he shows connections to Hoffactor Simon Levi Simon (1749-1826), the progenitor of the Simon family in Hildburghausen. Volume II deals entirely with his law practice. More than 100 cases are described in anecdotal form; these cases are grouped in a legal outline format and range from sexual offenses to Communist riots. Much discussion deals with the difficulty in making the transition from medieval property law to the civil code (BGB) in a still largely agrarian society. In Volume III he discusses philosophy, Jewish history, politics, and Judaism. In the supplement to this volume are included sections on Yiddish expressions and 19th century Hildburghausen recollections.
Kurzfassung:
In addition the collection contains a complete English translation of the original three German volumes. Five recently discovered notebooks hand-written in old German script that appear to be the original draft of Volume I are also displayed.
Kurzfassung:
Memoirs and family history dating back to the 15th century. The memoirs deal primarily with the author’s law firm from the end of the 19th to the early 20th century, as well as his views of religion and Judaism. Five handwritten notebooks in old German script were the basis for the author’s memoirs; they are also available in an English translation.
