    Abstract: The diaries of Toni Ehrlich – 29 handwritten notebooks – document her life on an almost day to day basis, beginning on April 1, 1906 and ending with a single word (“Lo”, meaning “no” in Hebrew) on October 21, 1969. Her thoughts and observations concentrate mostly on matters and issues of art and culture, as well as – to a lesser degree – current events. Private matters, including life changing ones - like her husband’s death -, are mentioned on the side, if at all. The original diaries in old German handwriting are accompanied by detailed summaries in English and a list of names, provided by Irene Miller.

    Abstract: The elaborate and thoughtful text contains many personal memories that exceed mere family life. Eric C. Fisher writes about Viennese neighborhoods, life in school, and religious differences between "assimilated" and "orthodox" Jews. Generally, it provides an account of Viennese cultural life between the wars. Fisher writes about his time with a Zionist youth organization; as well as family summer vacations in Croatia and Italy. He recalls the events of March 1938, and the beginning persecution of Jews in Austria. In spring 1939, he was incarcerated by the SS; he and other younger boys were released, but men (among them his father) were taken away. Later the family got transit visas to England, were he lived as a refugee and was interned as an enemy alien. Fisher describes in detail his transfer to Canadian camps and ends with his release in 1942, and the beginning of a new life in Montreal, Canada.
