The memoir starts with their arrest in Amsterdam, Westerbork - the place they were deported to at first - is mentioned, but not described. Bergen-Belsen gets more attention, Fritz Joseph describes daily work routine, and living conditions in the camp. 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. He was then transferred to Buchenwald, and had to work as a forced laborer at the HASAG works (former Hugo Schneider AG) at Meuselwitz near Leipzig. In 1945, the camp was evacuated and Fritz Joseph could flee. The war ended and he got treatment for his infected leg. After a few days he could return to Amsterdam where he met his wife - she had survived as well. A 10 page long It can be found in the file as well.

    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: Acculturation. ; England Emigration and immigration. ; Brazil Emigration and immigration. ; United States Emigration and immigration. ; Austria History Anschluss, 1938. ; Autobiographies ; Biographical sources ; Memoirs
    Abstract: Dedicated to his daughter Cindy, Wolf A. Popper's memoir covers the events following the Anschluss. He describes how life changed for him as a little boy, how people around him changed, and how he was struggling to understand what was going on around him. He explains the emigration route of the family, and finding temporary shelter in England. He writes about the various difficulties he had to adapt to the new culture. The family boarded a cargo ship to escape from Europe. But the ship was followed by German submarines, so it had to turn the engines off in order to escape silently. The captain lost track of the route, and they ended up in Brazil. They went to New York, and soon moved to Massachusetts, where his father had found a job. The memoir ends when they moved back to New York, shortly before the US got involved in the war.

    Abstract: Report in form of a diary, November 29, 1941 to November 2, 1943 about Jews from the town of Wischnitz in the Bucovina (today Wyschnyzja, Ukraine), who were deported to the province of Transnistria and interned in Jewish ghettos. Rosenstock focuses on the social life and the psychological situation of the internees. In particular he describes the effects of the periodical upcoming rumors about the war and their uncertain future. The discussion about these rumors, called "Ipa’s" (= Jewish rumor), like the transfer to Palestine, the upcoming end of the war etc., play an important role in the social life of the internees. The "Ipa’s" help them to cope with the daily horror and give them hope. Rosenstock describes it as "dreaming with open eyes". Rosenstock also describes the ghetto’s organization, its Jewish self-government, and the rivalries between the different ethnical groups in the village.
    Abstract: Wolf Rosenstock dedicated the report to the memory of his two sisters, Lea and Rosa, who were killed in Transnistria.

    Abstract: The memoir was written in 1958 in Austria. The physician Ernst Ritter describes his emigration to India and Shanghai in 1939.

Ernst Ritter was offered a position as an assistant in a private hospital in Bombay. He left together with his wife for India via Denmark in April 1939.
